Healthy Black Bean Brownies
Recipe originally from food blogger Chocolate Covered Katie
Total Time: 15 Minutes, yield: 9-12 Brownies
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups black beans (1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed very well)
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1⁄2 cup quick oats
- 1⁄4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 tsp baking powder
- 1⁄2 cup chocolate chip
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Combine all ingredients except chips in a food processor, and blend until completely smooth. Stir in the chips, and then pour into a greased 8×8 pan. Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top. Cook the black bean brownies 15- 18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. If they still look a bit undercooked, you can place them in the fridge overnight and they will firm.
