Black Bean Brownies (Gluten Free)

Description: These are flourless brownies made with pureed black beans! You won't believe it! You can substitute spices for the vanilla. I used about 1 tsp. Penzey's Apple Pie Spice and it was terrific.

Ingredients:

• 1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 3 eggs
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3/4 cup sugar

Steps:

1. Mix ingredients together in a blender/food processor until pureed.
2. Pour into a greased 8x8 cake pan.
3. Stir in some chocolate chips and nuts, or leave plain.
4. Bake at 350 F for approximately 30 minutes.
5. Let cool completely before cutting.
