Using cooked beans in cakes and brownies is an easy way to add more protein, fibre and helps keep the mixture lovely and soft. They can also be used to help bind the mixture without the need for eggs.
Use other nuts in this recipe. Walnuts are a useful source of omega 3 fats as well as protein while pecans have a delicious rich flavour. You can also use hemp seeds or mixed seeds instead.
