Dark Fudge Brownies
- Number of Servings: 30
Ingredients
1 (15 oz) can unseasoned black beans4 oz unsweetened chocolate1 Tbsp light butter6 egg whites, divided2 cups sugar3 Tbsp all-purpose flour2 Tbsp instant espresso coffee powder (found in most grocery stores, usually sold with instant coffee)1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick vegetable spray. Place the beans in a colander and rinse thoroughly under running water to remove "slime" and set aside and drain.
Place the chocolate and light butter in a small microwavable bowl. Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
In a food processor blender, add the drained beans and 2 egg whites. Blend or process until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the bean purée, sugar, flour, espresso powder, and remaining egg whites. With an electric mixer, beat until well combined. Mix in the melted chocolate.
Pour the brownie mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle the walnuts on top of the brownie batter. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the brownie pulls away from the sides of the pan. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars -- rows of six by five. Makes 30 (nice-size) Brownies.

The batter was so thin, I was afraid I'd done something wrong but the brownies came out all fudgy and gooey. Like most brownies, don't over mix but be careful not to under cook! I added a teaspoon of vanilla to help round the flavors out. Also used bittersweet chocolate and cut the sugar a bit. - 7/14/07

These brownies were definitely yummy - I ate more than I should have. I did have a problem with them sticking to the spatula when I removed them from the pan so next time I'll try parchment paper. Didn't taste the beans at all & neither did anyone else. They were the hit of the cookout! - 5/27/08
