I have come across this recipe for black beans brownies now and then. I finally decided to try them. The funniest part of the whole thing was the batter tasted like a box mix. How odd! My Beloved has actually asked for them again but I have to admit that I have been using the black beans for dinner. Time to cook more beans!
black bean brownies
15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
3 eggs
1/3 cup melted butter
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 to 1 cup mixture of butterscotch and chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter a 8 x 8 inch pan.
In a large blender, blend all the ingredients except the chips. I let it blend for awhile. Gently mix in the chips. Pour into pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or unitl a knife comes out clean. Let cool a bit before cutting.
The boys really liked these. I have to admit that I like my chocolate torte better but they are very different.
Next time, like the directions, I would stir the chips all the way through. Time to cook more black beans.
