Black Bean Brownies

Bub has been rolling his eyes at the thought of me making these for days now, so I thought I had better get my act together and make them. I made them yesterday, and we all tried them. No one complained, although Bub says the texture is different. I know what he's saying. They're slightly grainy. (That is normal with many non wheat flours.) They're still moist though and very chocolately. I sprinkled some chocolate chips over the top to make it look pretty :o).

The recipe credit goes to The Frugal Farm Wife. I really like her blog as she has some great stuff on there! If you want to read a little more about the black bean brownies themselves, this is the link to her post.

A sweet young lady once told me I should always write out the recipe on my blog too just in case the source ever disappears, so here it is:

Black Bean Brownies

2 cups cooked, drained black beans
4 eggs 1/3 C. melted butter
1/4 C. cocoa powder
1/8 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 C. brown sugar

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly butter an 8x8 glass baking dish.
In blender or food processor, puree beans, eggs, butter, cocoa, salt, vanilla and sugar until smooth.  Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Bake 30 minutes or until center is set.

Writing about these little treats has made me hungry for one now, so I'm off to make a cup of Earl Grey tea and have a bit of brownie. It's my little sweet treat for today.
