Gluten Free Black Bean Brownies

A customer shared this recipe with me at work. There's 2 parts to the recipe. The 1st part is the brownie recipe. The 2nd part is have to prepare the black beans yourself from scratch. It puts the brownies over the edge of goodness to greatness.

1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 c butter or butter/coconut oil combination, melted (+ enough to coat pan)
3 Large eggs
½ c cocoa powder
1/8 tsp salt
2 tbsp vanilla
½ + 2 tbsp sugar
1 c chocolate chips
½ c chopped walnuts (optional)

Put all ingredients except chips in blender and blend until smooth.  Mix in chocolate chips and pour into 8” square pan.  Bake 3500 for 30-35 mins



10 oz Black Beans, Dry
1 ea Cinnamon Stick
1 tsp Nutmeg, ground
1 tsp Allspice, ground
1 ea Vanilla bean, scraped  (I’ve used pure vanilla extract)



Soak the black beans overnight with double the volume of water to beans
Drain
Add back the same amount of fresh water, spices and vanilla
Bring to boil
Reduce to a simmer and cook for 35-40 minutes until the beans are tender (I found I had to cook them for a couple of hours)
Drain and cool thoroughly
