Black Bean Brownies

Black Bean Brownies

Ingredients

1 1/2 Cups Black Beans (1 -15oz Can, drained and rinsed very well)

2 tbsp cocoa powder 

1/2 cup of Quick oats or 1/2 Cup of Almond Flour

1/4 Tsp of Sea Salt

1/3 cup of Honey or 3/4 cup of Swerve (if you use Swerve add 1 egg)

1/4 cup of coconut oil

2 tsp pure Vanilla Extract

1/2 tsp of aluminum free baking powder

1/2 cup to 2/3 cup of chocolate chips....I bought the 85% Lindt Dark Chocolate Bar and beat the bar in wrapper and made my own chocolate chips (lower sugar this way)

1/2 cup of chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 8 x 8 pan with coconut oil or Pam Then combine all ingredients except chips in a good food processor and blend until completely smooth.  I used my powerful Ninja...I love that thing....anyways blend very well it is a must for the smooth texture and it taste so much better this way....Stir in the 3/4 of chips and put the rest on top with sprinkles of walnuts bake in the oven for about 20 minutes if you double recipe cook for about 35 minutes...if they look a little under cooked put in refrigerator for a few hours or over night and it will magically firm them up...makes about 9 to 12 brownies....

Once cooled cut and enjoy!
