I Can’t Believe They’re Black Bean Brownies

My kids had no idea these were anything other than ordinary brownies (and one of them hates beans)! These truly are delicious brownies that taste absolutely nothing like black beans. Pretty amazing!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup bread flour or all purpose flour or old fashioned rolled oats (optional – skipping the flour/ oats results in brownies with slightly less structure)
• 1 (15oz) can black beans, drained and well rinsed
• 1/4 cup oil or butter (optional – can be made fat free)
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup coconut sugar
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions

• Pre-heat the oven to 350-F. Grease a 9×9 inch pan.
• In a food processor, blend all ingredients (except for chocolate chips) until smooth.
• Pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Sprinkle the top evenly with the chocolate chips.
• Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
• Eat warm or refrigerate. I think they taste better cold.
