These 'donuts' are OMG delicious and deceptively nutritious making them great for kids. I used to make these when the kids were little but recently my son bought home a very similar recipe from Food Tech at school and made them 3 times this week, he loves them that much. I'm not complaining.
Black beans are super high in soluble fibre as well as protein, making them low Glycemic load as well as offering lots of vitamins and minerals and antioxidants (hence the colour), not to mention fibre that will feed all the health bacteria that we want to be encouraging.
They are also high in folate, B1, manganese and lots of other minerals.
Like all pulses, there are a few things about these little beans, that can make them problematic - digestively speaking - for some people. Usually people with IBS.
If this is you, book in today to undertake the specific gut testing and healing program so that you can start eating more nutritious high fibre foods again, with no annoying pain or symptoms.
