Chocolat Noir Brownies Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Jo_jo_ba / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago I was skeptical of a sweet recipe that called for black beans, even though there were rave reviews everywhere! It does work, though! Pureed beans are just the ticket to keeping these cakey brownies dark, moist, and fudgey and all without any trace of bean flavour.... More Prep:20m Cook:15m Servings:8	Jo_jo_ba

Ingredients

6 tbsp cocoa powder

1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or 1/2 and 1/2 whole wheat and white)

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed well

3 tbsp salted butter, melted

1 tbsp vanilla

1/4 cup Splenda Granular

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325F, and lightly spray an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with PAM.

In a small bowl, combine cocoa powder, flour, and baking powder. Set aside.

Place beans and butter in a food processor, and puree until beans are completely smooth.

Pulse in vanilla, Splenda and brown sugar until well mixed.

Add cocoa mixture and pulse just until incorporated.

Bake for 13-15 minutes (do not overbake). Cool in pan on wire rack, and chill before cutting.

Awesome! Beans and their flours are very underrated. I've even used potato flakes in recipes with the added benefit of it retaining moisture better than grain flours. Excellent post!
