Quick Black Bean Breakfast Brownies

Black beans and brownies are probably not the most common foods you would imagine for breakfast. These have the chewiness and delicious brownie taste without the bad fats and are great for getting going in the morning. Not to mention they are great for a quick pre-workout snack thanks to the carbs and protein.
