Flourless Brownies

Ok, I know you are skeptical. I was too!!! But make them once and you will see that these taste delicious and best of all, no one will ever guess that black beans are the secret ingredient in this recipe! I stole this recipe from Whole foods and tweaked it a little bit....

Ingredients
1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed **
3 large eggs
1/3 cup melted butter, more for the baking dish
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cane sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
Powdered sugar to sprinkle on top

Method
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8-inch baking pan. Place the black beans, eggs, melted butter, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth. Remove the blade and carefully stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan. Bake the brownies for 30 to 35 minutes, or until just set in the center. Cool before cutting into squares.

** Use the lowest sodium black beans you can find. Usually the organic, vegetarian ones are lowest in sodium. If you use the no salt added ones, then add 1/8 tsp salt to recipe
