Black Bean Brownie Recipe

This is a favourite recipe around our house. My kids absolutely LOVE them and gobble them up in no time at all. They don’t even suspect my secret (healthy) ingredient…black beans. I use my Blendtec for mixing everything. Cleanup is a breeze.

Black Bean Brownies

Ingredients

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 eggs
4 Tbs coconut oil
4 Tbs cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup organic cane sugar (or coconut sugar)
1/2 tsp real salt
1/4 cup rolled oats (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°

  1. Pour drained beans into a blender or food processor, blend until smooth.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients, except the oats, and continue blending until evenly mixed.
  3. Stir in the oats, if using.
  4. Pour mixture into a greased 8 x 8 pan.  Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Enjoy!

Sometimes I throw in 1/4 cup of coconut as well.
