Black Bean Brownies - TastyPlanner.com

They turned out to be even yummier than I had expected and I am fully intending to attempt to incorporate some zucchini into them next time to make a hybrid between this recipe and my own zucchini brownie recipe.

Ingredients
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups cooked beans]
3 eggs (she suggests trying just 2 but my eggs were quite small so I stuck with 3)
1.5 tbsp olive oil
1.5 tbsp applesauce
1/4 cup Cocoa powder
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Combine beans, eggs, olive oil and applesauce in a food processor. Blend until smooth. As you can see, I started out with the ingredients in a large bowl and was using my immersion blender. I ended up needed to transfer it to the food processor, however, because it just wasn’t cutting it.
2. Add cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, vanilla and sugar and blend until smooth. Stir mixture to ensure that all beans are pureed and all ingredients are combined well.
3. Pour batter into greased 8×8 baking pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
4. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes until toothpick inserted in the centre comes out smooth. They should be moist but not gooey. Cool, slice and enjoy.
I found these needed to go into the fridge immediately because our house was quite hot that day and the chocolate on the top was melting and the brownies were falling apart. Perhaps on a cooler day, they would last on the counter. We all gluten-freers and non-gluten-freers alike enjoyed these brownies!
