1 can black beans
3/4 cup sugar (I used 1/2 turbinado, 1/2 palm)
3 eggs
1/4 c cocoa powder (recipe calls for Dutch)
3 Tbsp oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla
Blend above ingredients in a blender.
Fold in 1/2 c chocolate chips & 1/2 cup pecans.
Pour into 8x8 greased baking dish.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
A couple differences between replacing flour with black beans.
95 flour carbs to 18 beans carbs
400 flour calories to 200 beans calories
These are pretty yummy. I didn't put chocolate chips or pecans in mine and probably will next time. The texture is a little different than my usual brownies, but the difference in calories & carbs, not to mention protein and fiber, makes up for that (There's something to be said about the no-guilt factor)
This recipe can be found at Allrecipes and probably many other places.
