Beans provide your body with fiber and protein, and they are low in fat and calories. If you haven’t found a way to add them to your lunch or dinner meals, why not try adding them for dessert?!
Ingredients:
- 1 15-oz can black beans, rinsed and drained very well
- 3 eggs
- 3 Tbsp canola oil
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup Splenda, or ¼ cup+ 1 tbsp Truvia (or 16 packets Truvia)
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350⁰. Spray an 8” x 8” baking pan with cooking spray.
- In food processor, process black beans until smooth. Add the eggs, oil, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, vanilla extract, and sugar, and process until smooth. Add ½ of the chocolate chips, and pulse a few times or stir, so that the chips are mixed in. Transfer the batter to the baking pan, and sprinkle the remaining chips on top of the brownies.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean.
