Black Bean Brownies


One of my friends who is not even gluten free introduced me to these yummy treats - and I LOVE when I find a GF recipe that just uses "normal" ingredients instead of all the exotic flours and things that your average person doesn't keep around.  We've made these 5 or 6 times before finally getting a picture; they kept disappearing too fast!

Black Bean Brownies

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
3 eggs
3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup sugar
optional 1/2 teaspoon each of baking power and baking soda to make them more cake-like

Mix all ingredients together in a food processor until blended well.  Pour into a greased 8x8 baking pan.  Stir in some chocolate chips or nuts if you so desire.  Bake at 350 degrees in a preheated oven for 30 minutes.  They cut better if you let them cool.
