Steps:
- Black Bean Brownies Recipe: Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients except chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely smooth. Really blend well. (A blender can work if you absolutely must, but the texture-and even the taste-will be much better in a food processor. I use this food processor.) Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8x8 pan. Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top. Cook the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. If they still look a bit undercooked, you can place them in the fridge overnight and they will magically firm up! Makes 9-12 brownies. If you make this recipe, don't forget to leave a review! The trick with these: serve them first, and then reveal the secret ingredient. In all the times I've served bean desserts, not one single person who didn't know beforehand has ever guessed!View Black Bean Brownies Nutrition Facts

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 11- by 18-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly oil with canola oil spray.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a glass bowl in the microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on high. Stir with a spoon to melt the chocolate completely. Place the beans, 1/2 cup of the walnuts, the vanilla extract, and a couple of spoonfuls of the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl of a food processor. Blend about 2 minutes, or until smooth. The batter should be thick and the beans smooth. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the remaining 1/2 cup walnuts, remaining melted chocolate mixture, coffee substitute, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, with an electric mixer beat the eggs until light and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the agave nectar and beat well. Set aside.
- Add the bean/chocolate mixture to the coffee/chocolate mixture. Stir until blended well. Add the egg mixture, reserving about 1/2 cup. Mix well. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Using an electric mixer, beat the remaining 1/2 cup egg mixture until light and fluffy. Drizzle over the brownie batter. Use a wooden toothpick to pull the egg mixture through the batter, creating a marbled effect. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the brownies are set. Let cool in the pan completely before cutting into squares. (They will be soft until refrigerated.)
AMAZING BLACK BEAN BROWNIES RECIPE(COURTESY OF ANIA CATALANO)
This is a recipe I just tried last night for a flourless brownie. Flourless because it is made with BLACK BEANS!! Yes, that is right, black beans. I thought it would be really gross, but I thought I would give it a try anyway. This recipe is courtesy of Ania Catalano from her book "Baking with Agave Nectar : Over 100 Recipes Using Nature's Ultimate Sweetener." They are only really good when cold. When they are warm you can definitely taste the beans, but when cold you can't. Also, if you use instant coffee you might want to use a lot less than in the recipe because the coffee taste is really strong. Kids probably won't like that. My husband hates coffee and I think it was too much for him....decrease amount of coffee if you don't like it. This is from Ania Catalano's book "Baking with Agave Nectar: Over 100 Recipes Using Nature's Ultimate Sweetener."

AGAVE FUDGY BROWNIES
The key to moist brownies is to not overmix or over bake. Agave repaces sugar in these for a lower GI. Optional topping: Use http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/chocolate-sauce/agave-chocolate-ganache-frosting.html and sprinkle with toasted, chopped nuts.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly coat a 9-x-13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- 2. In a glass bowl, combine chocolate and butter. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Immediately remove from microwave and stir until chocolate is completely melted.
- 3. In a large bowl, beat eggs with a wire whisk. Add agave nectar and vanilla. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
- 4. Sift flour, baking powder and salt over the chocolate mixture. Gently fold the ingresdients, JUST until flour is incorporated. Gently stir in walnuts, if using. DO NOT OVERMIX. Mixture will be lumpy.
- 5. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until just set. Do not overbake, or brownies will be dry.
- 6. Let cool in pan before cutting into 2-inch bars.
Tips:
- Use ripe, mashed bananas. This will give your brownies a moist and dense texture.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your brownies tough.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or wet crumbs, the brownies need to bake longer.
- Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
