Lentil Brownie

I have heard of putting lots of crazy things in brownies (some of them illegal!) but this is the first time I have heard of lentils.. Everyone I have fed them to couldn't tell they were in there. I think that makes them a healthy snack......... doesn't it?!

[Debbie Orlando]

Wow...that's unusual! Yes, I'd say healthy. I'm good at justifying food!

[Brenda]

I've heard of black bean brownies, but I've never made them. I think ANYTHING with a side of ice cream is probably a healthy snack... right?

[katy]

@debsphotos Unfortunately I can justify even cake....eggs milk and chocolate comes from a bean so it is a veggie too! ;.}

[katy]

@thesandbox5 Absolutely as women we need that calcium!

I had avocado ones in San Diego :) Brownie....hmmmmm.....good!

[katy]

@noaceyet It was good with avocado? Could you taste It in the brownie? I think all these ingredients do is add moisture.

cool idea...where did you get the recipe and did you use a special type of lentils..?....lentils are also good for you, high in soluble fiber, iron and vitamin B and Folate...I love lentil soup...

[katy]

I got the recipe from my sister while I was visiting her last month. They harvest lentils near her and she got it from the kitchen of the USA pea and lentil council. Go to http://365project.org/marilyn/365/2011-08-25 to see her collage.

I used the lentils you get at WalMart I know they are good for you and love lentil soup as well. Brownies that are good for you ?! OH yeah!

I love black and blue lentils. Yeah, well... ...I also love the stones

[katy]

@peterdegraaff I would love to be able to get different colored ones but they come pretty much one color only here. I haven't tried shopping in different stores though to see if a different chain carries different colors!

[Semoor]

I think it is the icecream AND cream that make it healthy!! yum!

[katy]

@semoor Healthy or not it WAS good!

[ervadanninha]

i love lentils!! next time you bake send me one or five pieces!!

[katy]

@ervadanninha LOL. you really couldn't tell they were in there. I think they just added moisture! If I have your address I will try to send some but I think they would spoil.
