Ingredients:

• 1 can (15oz) black beans (drained & rinsed well)
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 cup Splenda~or more if you like a sweeter taste! (OR Stevia~ I used 2 tbs Stevia (it really is to the taste of sweetness you like)
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp strong coffee (or 1 1 tsp instant coffee)
• 1 tsp baking powder (add another tsp for more cakey brownies)
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 tsp vanilla
• *Optional: 1/4 cup chocolate chips to sprinkle over top, or powdered sugar for dusting!

*Note: if you find these brownies are too soft or too fudgey for your liking, you can add 1/4 cup oats or flour.

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8×8 baking pan with cooking spray, set aside.
2. Mix all ingredients (except the beans) in a food processor or blender.  Add the the beans and blend/puree well until smooth mixture forms.
3. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake! Allow to cool before slicing.
