Here’s a clean version of chocolate peanut butter black bean brownies that are gluten free and delicious! It’s an excellent source of protein and fiber, and combines the love of chocolate and peanut butter. 21 Day Fixers – see notes below on how to include it with the plan.

Tina’s Pro-Tip

Instant coffee is optional, but highly recommended. It will bring out some of the cocoa flavor and add to the richness. However, if the ground coffee beans is all you have, you may want to skip it as it’s not the same thing!!

21 Day Fix

Cut the pan into 9 pieces, and count as a yellow treat. You could freeze the leftovers (pre-portioned into baggies) and warm them in the microwave when you’re ready to eat them.
