16 oz. black beans, rinsed
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 (equivalent) sugar substitute (like Baking Stevia)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)
Blend the first 7 ingredients in a blender or food processor until completely smooth. Poor into an 8x8'' baking dish and sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts throughout the mixture. Cook at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Makes 8 servings. (Recipe by Whole Foods)
This is delicious!! I gave Charlie a bite without telling him what it was made from, and he said "Yuuuuuuum!" They're fudgy, chocolately, and really not all that bad for you!
I did a nutrient analysis and here's what you've got per (decent sized) slice:
Calories: 142
Carbs: 20g
Sugar: 8.4g
Fiber: 5g
Protein: 6.25g
Fat: 13g
I'd say that's not bad compared to 486 calories, 20g fat, 78g carbs, and 5g protein in a regular brownie of equal size. I'll take another serving of beans, please! :)
