    Double Chocolate Stout Brownies

    This brownie recipe is pulling double duty. Equally at home at a St. Patrick’s Day celebration as it is a girl’s night in, these brownies deserve a spot in your dessert rotation. Use your favorite chocolate stout in the batter and the glaze. The deep malty beer will enhance the chocolate of the brownies without overpowering them. A can of black beans helps fill out the batter with extra protein and fiber. Who says you can’t have your brownie and eat it too?
