Black Bean Brownies

I was really surprised to find that this did NOT taste like beans. It was super fudgy and yummy.

Black Bean Brownies
Original Recipe by Allrecipes.com
Makes 12 brownies

Ingredients
  • 2 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons avocado (or unflavoured) oil
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee (optional)
  • 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional)
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8x8" glass baking dish with a little oil.
  2. Put all ingredients except chocolate and cranberries in a blender or food processor and puree until combined. Pour into prepared baking dish and sprinkle on the chocolate chips and cranberries.
  3. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the centre is firm. You'll need to touch it with your finger. If it feels jiggly leave it in for a few more minutes. The toothpick test will not work on this recipe. It's too fudgy.
  4. Let it cool completely before cutting into 12 squares.
