This healthy chocolate brownie is made with lentils, which are rich in protein, fiber, and iron, but you won't notice the beany flavor. The taste and texture are almost like a real brownie, and you can eat it without the guilt of extra carbs. The batter is made from cooked light brown lentils, ground oats, almond paste, natural applesauce, and egg. Sweetened with honey and semisweet chocolate chips, the brownie is incredibly chocolatey, soft on the inside, and crisp on the outside, just like a traditional brownie should be.
