These black bean brownies are a perfect example of how a treat can be both indulgent and genuinely nourishing. They are made from wholefood and simple store cupboard staple ingredients, including black beans, eggs, seeds, nuts, and cacao powder.

Flaxseed & yoghurt are staples in my kitchen and also are two of the ingredients that make a simple, nourishing, high‑protein bread that supports blood sugar balance, digestive health, and satiety. It is ideal as a wholesome alternative to processed breads, is gluten free and can be dairy free if you use soya yoghurt (which I did).
