Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:1 1/2 cups flour (whole wheat, or white, or your own GF favorite)1 tsp salt (I use Morton's Lite Salt)1 tsp baking powder2 1/4 cups raw sugar (can be reduced if desired)1 1/4 cup cocoa (I used Hershey's)Wet Ingredients:1 15 oz can black beans, RINSED and filled with new water (I use low sodium)1 tsp vanilla2 TBS cashew butter (optional, can use other nut butter if desired, double for stronger flavor)1 1/2 cups chopped nuts or chips (optional - not included in nutrition calculation)*up to* 1 cup of water (add a little at a time at the end to to get a good batter consistency)- See more at: https://www.nomeatathlete.com/black-bean-brownies/#sthash.hmiDUNfD.dpuf
blend/puree beans and water (and nut butter, if using), add vanilla
in a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients together
mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients
add up to a cup of water to get a good batter consistency (you may need more or less, eyeball it as you go) *Note: after filling the can with rinsed beans to to the rim with fresh water, I only needed about 1/8 cup of extra water.
grease bottom of a 9 x 13 pan (I used Pam and spread it out with a paper towel), pour batter into pan and smooth out evenly
bake in pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until done (Mine took 27-28 minutes and were not overdone or gooey). I watched mine closely after 20-25 mins. Middle should look fairly dry and be firm to the touch, and tooothpick should come out clean.
cut into squares and enjoy!
