16
ingredients
- 1 (15 1/2 ounce) can no salt added black beans, rinsed and drained
- 3⁄4 cup egg substitute
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1⁄2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 cup Splenda sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules (optional)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Spray an 8x8 square baking dish with cooking spray.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- I've also noticed that the texture gets better after being refrigerated.

These were very interesting and a decent substitute for normal brownies. BUT having said that, I think I would only make them again if I were desperate. I don't think I puree'd the black beans as well as I should have and that didn't help. My family ate them, but didn't devour them like normal brownies if that gives you any idea.

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River.
Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born.
The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good.
