My new favorite dessert is Black Bean Brownies. They are gluten-free (flourless, so grain-free) and dairy-free, and we're lovin' them here!
Black Bean Brownies
1 can black beans, drained (1.75 cups, I used fresh)
3 eggs
3 tablespoons oil, (I used coconut oil, of course!)
1/3 cup cocoa powder. I used raw unsweetened...
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup sucanat
Combine the above in a blender, blending til smooth. Then add 1/2 cup chocolate chips if you like. I didn't ;)
Bake at 350 degrees in an 8x8 greased baking pan for about 22-25 minutes. Yummy!

Those look tasty, BK! I've missed you!
Hey, Heather! I tried to do your "egg in the ice cube tray" trick today. My eggs were way too big! Either you have super-small eggs or extra-large ice cubes trays :)
Thanks for this recipe BK, my husband and I liked them. As a note of caution for others who are looking to try it out, unless you're making them for people who eat gluten-free, veggie desserts a lot, they may not be quite as enthusiastically received. Some people can swear these taste "bean-y".
I've heard adding chocolate chips helps decrease the bean factor :)
OK, so I just tried these today. How is the texture of yours? My first batch baked for 50 minutes and were total goo in the middle. Added cornstarch this time, and 35 mins in they're still goo. Gah!
However, they taste pretty darn good!
I definitely cook them for less than 30 minutes, and they are crumbly, but not gooey. Do you mix them in your Blendtec?
