I know what you're probably thinking...black beans, really?
Yes, really. These little beans are a nice alternative for flour and a source of protein and iron.
However unconventional this recipe may sound, it actually creates a moist, unique spin on 'the brownie'.
 |
| You can find black beans at your local grocery store |
Goods
1 can (16oz) drained black beans
3 eggs
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup cocoa powder
 |
| Rinsing the beans |
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (if you like)
1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (if you like)
Actions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350 F and grease an 8x8 baking dish (see picture).
Drain and rinse those lovely black beans. Combine the black beans, eggs, oil, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract, and brown sugar in a blender (or food processor). Blend until smooth. Gently stir in the walnuts or pecans, if you choose to use them.
Pour the mixture in the 8x8 baking dish and sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips (if you chose to use them) over the top of the mixture.
Bake for about 30 minutes. Let the brownies cool. Cut and serve.
Don't forget to pat yourself on the back for trying a new recipe or perhaps you've already tried these before. Either way, you have now become one with the black bean. Here's to you for being a true food adventurist!
Cheers!

These were so good! The raw batter tasted beany, but I put my doubts away. They were delicious when baked. I added chocolate chips in the batter, and walnuts and a few chips on top.
