I have been gluten intolerant for years, and the thing I miss the most is brownies, so I was determined to find a way to get my chocolate fix. I looked all over the internet and found a recipe that I had to modify a bit, but these are amazing.
Ingredients:
1 15 oz. can black beans (rinsed)
3 eggs
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3 tbsp. spoons olive oil
1/8 tsp. salt
1 & 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 & 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 medium ripe banana (cut in quarters)
1 tsp. vanilla extract (pure and organic tastes so much better)
1/3 cup agave nectar or honey (I use a mixture of both)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a food processor or blender mix all the ingredients together until completely smooth. Then pour it into an 8 x 8 inch pan lined with parchment paper. Then bake for 30 to 45 min. (checking regularly to see if it's done). It should look a little something like this.
Then you want to wait until they're cool, which usually takes 20 minutes; but if you want them gooey and warm I would wait just 10. Then remove the brownies with the parchment paper and put them on the counter. Crumbs will stick a little to the parchment paper; that's fine. Then with a sharp knife cut it into squares. I usually put them on a pretty plate, but I only had a second throwaway pan to put them in to bring tonight. Ha, they usually don't look so tacky but hey, it works.
I love these so much, they are so amazingly delicious and the best part is that when you eat the whole pan by yourself you won't feel nearly as guilty and your butt won't become its own planet. If you try these let me know; they won't be for everyone but my family loves them. Have a wonderful Monday night!! Happy Birthday dad, I love you!
