A few weeks ago we were having dinner at my in-laws house. For dessert my mother-in-law served us some delicious brownies from scratch made without wheat. I was quite surprised to learn that the main ingredient was black beans. I would never have been able to guess what they were made of. They tasted nothing like black beans. This recipe is easy and fast. When you are looking to make a batch of brownies for your family. Don't grab a boxed brownie mix. Make these brownies with all the health benefits of black beans: they are rich in fiber, phytonutrients and protein.
- 1 1/2 cup canned black beans rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 eggs or 3/4 cup egg substitute
- 2 TBS chocolate syrup
- 2 TBS reduced fat sour cream (I substituted vanilla yogurt)
- 1 TBS melted unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8 x 8 baking dish.
- Combine beans, cocoa powder, and egg in a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth about 2 minutes
- Add chocolate syrup, sour cream, butter, sugar and vanilla. Process ingredients for about 1 minute.
- Pour the batter into greased dish. Bake 28-30 minutes. Until toothpick comes out clean.
- Let brownies cool before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
