A dear friend of mine tried these and shared her recipe. Once I discovered these are only an average of 115 calories each and they’re SUPER easy to make, I had to try them! You literally dump all the ingredients into a blender, pulse, and bake. Yes, they’re really – that easy….
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a blender add the following ingredients:
- 15 oz can (1 1/2 cups) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/3 cup Maple syrup or Agave, pure
- 1/2 cup Oats
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 pinch Stevia, Zing or 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla flavoring
- 1/4 cup coconut or vegetable oil
Pulse until blended really smooth. This is important – the better you blend it – the better it will taste! Once blended, mix in a handful of dark chocolate chips.
Spray a brownie pan really well with Coconut Oil Spray and pour the mixture into the pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top, if desired. Cook the black bean brownies 15-20 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. Makes 9-12 brownies.
TADA! When I originally posted this picture, a friend pointed out that these were in a “Temptations” dish – how appropriate!
