We eat a lot of black beans in our home but the man child thinks they're not cool. Ok! he says they are yucky and just smashes the miserable suckers into his plate. But I have found a way to get him to eat those, oh so nasty beans.
Normally, the only way I can get him to eat the beans (now bean pancakes dried to his plate) is to have a dessert afterwards or have some kind of motivational bread product. I am perfectly serious when I say he could live on bread alone.*
It never fails that a 1/2 hour later, after eating a beanie meal, he asks for bread or some cereal to help him survive until we have real food in the morning.
But his luck has change...or would that be mine?
I heard you can make Black Bean brownies. Brilliant right? I am a firm believer of hiding veggies and I thought this was worth a try.
Test results:
It did make awesome/can't tell there are black beans brownies. It makes the brownies heavy and fudgy-er. I used a homemade recipe and haven't tried it on a mix, but I think it would turn a mix into fudge rather then Brownies.
The man child ate it! He had no idea that black beans were in there. I even told him they were when he asked for seconds and he didn't seem to care.
He gave me that "whatever" look with his eyes and asked for more.
"More black bean Brownies please."
Ah, there is nothing like pretending a dessert is good for you.
*Isn't there a scripture about this?
