When life is full of too many beans...
Make brownies.
Many recipes to choose from. I took my inspiration from them all and formed my own. Heres how it goes:
Black Bean Beauties
15 oz black beans, cooked, drained, and rinsed
1/3c unsweetened cocoa powder
2tsp espresso powder
3/4c egg replacement (I use 2 Tb ground flax whisked up with water)
3 Tb flour (I used a gluten free mixture)
3/4c liquid sweetener (agave here)
1 Tb butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c chocolate chips
chopped nuts for topping
Preheat oven 350
Throw beans-egg in blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape down sides, add flour-vanilla. Blend again until combined. Stir in chips. Pour into 8x8. Top will chopped nuts and extra chocolate. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool. Cut and store in refrigerator. Enjoy!
And, a bit of advice: eat one and wait. They are deceptively filling. I got through two before I realized :)
they look like the most awesome black bean brownies I've seen anywhere on the net, kudos!
