Bubble Brownies

Why bubble brownies you ask?

Simple. My friends were blowing bubbles while I was making these brownies! It just made the experience all the more entertaining. I encourage you to do the same! (Why not blow bubbles while baking? I couldn't think of a reason!)

Anyway, the inspiration for brownies came from a recipe I was looking at a while ago that involved black beans. I've tried that version before, and it is surprisingly delicious! But unfortunately, being as I am a "starving" university student that doesn't have a completely stocked pantry...the regular version had to do for today. They ended up getting a great review from my room mates, and they didn't take long at all to make. Another bonus, is that the recipe doesn't call for too many ingredients.

They definitely beat my chocolate craving!
