Ingredients
1 whole can black beans, drained and rinsed3 eggs, beaten3 squares of unsweetened baker's chocolate, melted1 cup granulated Splenda1 tsp. almond extract1 tsp. vanilla extract1 tbsp instant coffee powder, dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water1/2 c. chopped walnuts
Directions
Line an 8x8 baking dish with foil and spray with Pam. I like to use Reynold's nonstick foil (no Pam for this). This will make it easy to lift the brownies out and let them cool before you cut them.

Drain and rinse the black beans. Add to food processor with eggs, melted chocolate, Splenda, extracts and coffee. Blend until very well combined with no lumps. Stir in the walnuts - you may want to reserve a little bit to sprinkle on the top for decoration. Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. When Let cool and cut into 16 squares. I find a pizza cutter works well for this. These taste better the next day- if you can wait that long. Store in an airtight container. I like to make a double batch and freeze them for when I need a "sweet" snack.
