Ingredients
Black beans, ground flax, whole wheat flour, chocolate chips, yogurt, apple sauce
1.Rinse black beans and measure out 1 1/4 cups of beans. (reserve any remaining beans for another use - you could add them to a salad.) Place beans in food processor and whirl to mash.
2.Add flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and brown sugar to the mashed beans in the food processor, and process to blend in.
3.Add applesauce, yogurt and vanilla and whirl again to blend.
4.Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts.
5.Spray an 8 inch square baking pan with non-stick spray, and turn the brownie mixture into the prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely and cut into squares.
Note
The second time I made this I used 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and added 1/4 cup ground flax seed meal. This also worked out well, and added the heart healthy benefits of the flax seed.
