These were a HIT!
Black Bean Brownies – No Flour Required!
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups black beans (1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed very well)
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 cup quick oats
1/4 tsp salt 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
pinch uncut stevia OR 2 tbsp sugar (or omit and increase maple syrup to 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup coconut or vegetable oil
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips (Not optional. Omit at your own risk.)
optional: more chips, for presentation
Instructions
Black Bean Brownies Recipe:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients except chips in a good
food processor, and blend until completely smooth. Really blend well. (A blender can work if you
absolutely must, but the texture—and even the taste—will be much better in a food processor.) Stir in
the chips, then pour into a greased 8×8 pan.
Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the
top. Cook the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to
cut. If they still look a bit undercooked, you can place them in the fridge overnight and they will
magically firm up!
Makes 9-12 brownies. *The
trick with these: serve them first,
and then reveal the secret ingredient.
