Black Bean Brownies


These decadent brownies are from Chocolate Covered Katie.  Their secret ingredient - black beans!  And, if no one told me, I would never know they were in there!  These are yummiest right out of the oven, gooey and warm.  My kids think these are the best 'Happy Friday' after school treat.  

1 15oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained very well
3 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 c. quick cook oats
1/4 t. salt
1/2 c. maple syrup
1/4 c. coconut oil (melt before combining with other ingredients)
2 t. vanilla extract
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2-2/3 c. dark chocolate chips
optional:  more chips for presentation

Preheat oven to 350.  Combine all ingredients, except chocolate chips, in food processor.  Blend really well until smooth.  Stir in the chips, then pour into an 8x8 pan sprayed with olive oil.  Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for presentation.  Cook brownies 15-18 minutes.  Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before cutting.  

Enjoy!
