BROWNIE MIX-BLACK BEAN BROWNIES
You won't believe how chocolate-y and moist these brownies are. I like to make them in mini muffin cups with mini foil cupcake liners. Dust them with powdered sugar and you have a decadent treat with the benefit of more protein, more fiber, and fewer fat calories.

- Melt the chocolate and butter in a glass bowl in the microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on high. Stir with a spoon to melt the chocolate completely.

AMAZING BLACK BEAN BROWNIES RECIPE(COURTESY OF ANIA CATALANO)
This is a recipe I just tried last night for a flourless brownie. Flourless because it is made with BLACK BEANS!! Yes, that is right, black beans. I thought it would be really gross, but I thought I would give it a try anyway. This recipe is courtesy of Ania Catalano from her book "Baking with Agave Nectar : Over 100 Recipes Using Nature's Ultimate Sweetener." They are only really good when cold. When they are warm you can definitely taste the beans, but when cold you can't. Also, if you use instant coffee you might want to use a lot less than in the recipe because the coffee taste is really strong. Kids probably won't like that. My husband hates coffee and I think it was too much for him....decrease amount of coffee if you don't like it. This is from Ania Catalano's book "Baking with Agave Nectar: Over 100 Recipes Using Nature's Ultimate Sweetener."

MY BLACK BEAN BROWNIES (LOW FAT, LOW SUGAR)
You can add a small or medium banana (very ripe) that you puree with the other liquid ingredients. You can also add up to 1/2 cup melted butter if desired, and as much sweetener as you like. Sometimes I use pinto beans, which make a lighter colored brownie. For a Mexican chocolate taste, add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Pour beans into a colander and rinse very, very, very well.
- Place drained beans in the large cup of the NutriBullet (or use a blender or food processor).
- Add eggs, almond milk, vanilla and stevia.
- Whiz in NutriBullet, blender, etc. until beans are pureed and mixture is smoothly blended.
- Pour into a mixing bowl.
- Add dry ingredients, mix.
- Add agave, mix, taste and add more if desired.
- Pour into a greased 8 inch square baking pan.
- Bake about 18 to 20 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. (Adjust baking time if using a different size pan.
- Immediately place the pan in the freezer to cool quickly (about 10-15 minutes - do not try this with a glass baking pan - only metal is safe for this). Alternatively you can just let them cool in the pan on a rack, but this will take much longer.

Tips:
- For fudgier brownies, use a 9x9 inch pan instead of an 8x8 inch pan.
- To make sure the brownies are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they are done.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
- If you are using a blender to mix the batter, be sure to blend it until it is smooth. Any lumps will make the brownies less smooth.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
- If you want to add nuts or chocolate chips to the brownies, stir them in at the end of the mixing process.
Conclusion:
Black bean brownies look just like brownies, and they are really easy to make. They are healthy and delicious treats. Plus they are an easy way to get more vegetables into your diet. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give black bean brownies a try.
