Black Bean Brownies
Yield: 16 servings
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups black beans, cooked & drained
2-3 large eggs
3 tablespoons light olive oil (or lard)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 pinch non-iodized salt
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
3/4 cup sugar (or 1/2 cup honey)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8 square baking dish.
Puree black beans. You may need to add a little water to keep from being too pasty.
Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth; pour batter into baking dish.
Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the top is dry.
Note: If you like your brownies cake-y use 2 eggs. 3 eggs will make them gooey.
