My Black Bean Brownies (Low Fat, Low Sugar) image

You can add a small or medium banana (very ripe) that you puree with the other liquid ingredients. You can also add up to 1/2 cup melted butter if desired, and as much sweetener as you like. Sometimes I use pinto beans, which make a lighter colored brownie. For a Mexican chocolate taste, add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (15 ounce) can organic black beans or 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans
3 large eggs (or 2 jumbo eggs)
1/4 cup almond milk
2 -3 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 drops liquid stevia (to taste)
1 tablespoon agave nectar (to taste)
2 -3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (I usually use 2 T., can also sub carob powder)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1/4 teaspoon cardamom

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pour beans into a colander and rinse very, very, very well.
  • Place drained beans in the large cup of the NutriBullet (or use a blender or food processor).
  • Add eggs, almond milk, vanilla and stevia.
  • Whiz in NutriBullet, blender, etc. until beans are pureed and mixture is smoothly blended.
  • Pour into a mixing bowl.
  • Add dry ingredients, mix.
  • Add agave, mix, taste and add more if desired.
  • Pour into a greased 8 inch square baking pan.
  • Bake about 18 to 20 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. (Adjust baking time if using a different size pan.
  • Immediately place the pan in the freezer to cool quickly (about 10-15 minutes - do not try this with a glass baking pan - only metal is safe for this). Alternatively you can just let them cool in the pan on a rack, but this will take much longer.
  • Cut into squares. Can refrigerate remaining brownies by covering them with plastic wrap.
