Black Bean Brownies
From Randi Siu
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 or a 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
Instructions
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.
