Black Bean Brownies

Today’s recipe is a healthy-ish recipe. It has no flour so it is gluten-free. Tiffany usually makes this for us. It is good to have when we want something fudgey chocolatey.

Drain and rinse the black beans.

I have to preface this with the fact that our food processor is dead. :( So when Tiffany made this the last time she used a potato masher to mash the black beans. If you have a food processor or such, use that instead, so that your beans are completely mashed.

I will now apologize for the last picture and lack of single serving pictures. Sean was my photographer and Tiffany the baker. The problem arose because the brownies must cool on a wire rack (in the pan) for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Something happened and my photographer got caught up in eating his brownie and forgot to take a picture. I did not know this until I was putting this post together or I would’ve taken a picture because we had three brownies leftover and it would have been an easy thing to do. But alas, I sent the brownies to work with him before I knew of this situation. Sooooo, once again, I will have to add good pictures of the finished product next time we make them. ;)

We got this wonderful recipe from Chocolate Covered Katie. She has some delicious looking final pictures and some other wonderful looking desserts.
