I was given a pamphlet on recipes that use beans and the original recipe for these brownies was included. I switched the sugar to Splenda, the eggs to egg substitute (or the same amount of liquid egg whites) and the vegetable oil to canola oil. They're just as good as a traditional brownie but you won't feel bad letting your kids eat them (and eat them they will)!

Ingredients

16 serv.
  • black beans, no salt added, rinsed and drained1 ounce

    can (15 1/2 ounce)

  • egg substitute3⁄4 cup
  • canola oil3 tablespoons
  • cocoa powder1⁄2 cup
  • salt1 pinch
  • vanilla extract1 teaspoon
  • Splenda sugar substitute1⁄2 cup
  • instant coffee granules1 teaspoon

    optional

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350.

  2. 2

    Spray an 8x8 square baking dish with cooking spray.

  3. 3

    Combine the black beans, egg substitute, canola oil, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract, Splenda and instant coffee granules (if using) in a blender; blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. At this point, you can also sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the mixture, if you're not watching your calories.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges start to pull away from the side of the pan, about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    I've also noticed that the texture gets better after being refrigerated.
