Mexican Black Bean Brownies (flourless)

Mexican Black Bean Brownies 

with "Chili Nut M&Ms

"Sweet Heat" and NO FLOUR

You won't believe how good these are!  And the best part is they actually have nutrition in them!  I have even included a low-sugar optional for you as well! The results were slightly different but both delicious!  The traditional white sugar variation makes more of a "chocolate cake-like" taste and texture which was the definitive kids' choice.  The low sugar option will give you a consistency and flavor of a semi-sweet, flourless chocolate cake which the adults preferred.  Either way, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the sweet and tasty outcome!
