No one will ever guess the secret ingredient in this recipe: black beans!
Ingredients
1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed
3 large eggs
1/3 cup melted vegan butter, coconut butter, OR olive oil (a little more to grease the making dish)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons stevia sugar (you can also use agave)
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or carob chips)
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Butter an 8-inch baking pan. Place the black beans, eggs, melted coconut butter, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract and stevia in the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth. Remove the blade and gently stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan. Bake the brownies for 30 to 35 minutes, or until just set in the center. Cool before cutting into squares.
