Below, three quite different brownie recipes. the first proposes a straight swap
of black beans instead of flour. The result is a brownie that meets the minimum
fiber requirement for a 'grain' portion.
The second recipe is quite a construct. There is no white sugar but there is flour,
and sweet potato, ground almonds, avocado, apple sauce, maple syrup. A portion
is reasonable and nutrition packed. A vegan 'treat'.
This one is the recipe dear to our hearts, contains eggs and is served
with caramel sauce. Just cut the whole thing into six portions! A calorie bomb!!
What to make of all this. I wouldn't attempt all three alone; maybe with a
friend(s), for a comparison test. Hanging tough till spring.

On the fiber question, soluble fiber absorbs water and forms a sludge ( in the stomach)
which slows down digestion. Water is removed in the large intestine, and insoluble fiber
forms bulk.
