Anyway, she mainly posts healthy, vegan desserts and this sugar addict is always looking for healthier ways to satisfy her (and our family) sweet tooth. :)
So when I found this recipe I thought two things: 1. I could make a healthy dessert. And 2. I can't wait to sneak these past Brian to see if he can tell these are vegan (and have black beans in it). Now, before I even try to get him to eat these, I can pretty much guarantee he WON'T eat them because he knows I never just make brownies (from scratch no-less) for no reason. It'll be obvious that I'm trying to sneak something over on him. He knows me too well I suppose!
Chloe wanted to help me make them and as usual, asked to lick the batter when done. I was happy to oblige but figured she would take one lick and say she didn't like them...NOT true. She licked that batter clean!!
These are soft, but these are GOOD. I would absolutely, definitely make these again!!
1 1/2 cups black beans (1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed very well)
2 tbsp cocoa powder- dutch or regular
1/2 cup quick oats
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup honey
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup coconut or vegetable oil
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips
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.) Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8×8 pan. Cook 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. Makes 9-12 brownies.
