Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Servings: brownies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
- Using a food processor, blend together the beans, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, cocoa, vanilla, coffee, baking powder, and salt until the batter is completely smooth. Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips and nuts and pour evenly into the greased pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set in the middle and the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into bars. The brownies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
My friend< June, made your recipe and brought them to our book group meeting. They were moist, chocolatey and sinfully delicious; maybe the best I ever tasted. Everyone wanted the recipe. Thank you
So glad to hear it!
So impressed with the taste and texture. Really good, will definitely make again.
Just had them for a birthday with raspberries on top !and of course dollop of whipped cream !
curious as to nutrition information ?
Sorry. . .that info isn’t listed in the cookbook. I can tell you, though, that if you ate them for YOUR birthday, there were no calories in the brownies. Or fat. Happy birthday?
