Black Cherry Black Bean Vegan Brownies
Cherry season is wrapping up here in the beautiful Okanagan. We LOVE cherry season. It is not uncommon to find us cherry picking or to find my kitchen looking slightly like a crime scene. We LOVE cherries!
However, at the end of cherry season, namely this morning, I find a small bowl of leftover cherries that are rather sad looking. I also am excited that my sister is coming tonight for choo choo wine wine. Yup, you read that right. We play ticket to ride with a glass of wine and now with these amazing brownies! So if you happen to find beautiful cherries or sad cherries…well a cherry is delicious so toss them in here for a low sugar, whole food, vegan, gluten free, blah blah blah brownies. They are good. And good for you!
