With the Vancouver winter upon us there's nothing better than a warm fudgy brownie to perk you up. The bonus, these brownies are packed with high fiber black beans. I was a little weary of mixing vegetables into baking but trust me, the beans are completely undetectable and the results are a nice firm crust on the outside with a moist chocolately inside. Not only are these brownies packed with fiber but they're sweetened with just 1/2 cup brown sugar and completely gluten free! They're absolutely fool proof, you simply throw all the ingredients into a food processor, blend it up and voila! Who says you can't have it all?


      
               


Recipe (makes approx 14 brownies)


Ingredients

* 1 19 oz can black beans
* 2 large brown eggs
* 3 tbl spoons coconut oil (or olive if that's all you have but coconut adds a nice sweetness)
* 3/4 cup cocoa powder
* 1/4 tsp sea salt
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1 1/2 baking powder
* handful crushed walnuts for topping

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Put all ingredients except for the walnuts in the food processor and blend until smooth. Grease mini muffin trays with olive oil to prevent sticking and drop one tbl spoon of batter into each tray. Top with walnuts and pop in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Let them cool for approximately 10 minutes, Enjoy!
