To Die For Brownies

 I saw this recipe last week and HAD to try it out! It calls for a secret ingredient ...

Yes! Black Beans!!

These brownies are made with black beans and NO eggs or oil! I thought there was no way that they could taste like brownies, but I just had to try it and see! They were AMAZING!! Plus, you can get the added benefit of protein and fiber while eating your dessert!

2 (15oz each) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 - 3/4 cup water
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa (I used Hershy's Special Dark)
1 T. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 (12oz) pkg semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Puree black beans in blender with water until smoothie like consistency. Combine black bean mixture, sugar, and milk in a large mixing bowl. Mix with electric mixer until well combined. Add flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan. 

Bake for 25-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.


Lydia and Jeff both LOVED them!! I will definitely be making these again and again!
