Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups cooked mixed beans (salt and seasoning free … or 1 15-oz. can of unflavored beans, drained and rinsed); 2 Tablespoons dark cocoa powder; 1/2 cup oat bran; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey; 1 packet of stevia; 1/4 cup melted grass fed butter (such as Kerrygold) or coconut oil; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; About 2/3 cup good quality dark chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli)

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups cooked mixed beans (salt and seasoning free … or 1 15-oz. can of unflavored beans, drained and rinsed)
2 Tablespoons dark cocoa powder
1/2 cup oat bran
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
1 packet of stevia
1/4 cup melted grass fed butter (such as Kerrygold) or coconut oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
About 2/3 cup good quality dark chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan with cooking spray or grease with butter or oil.
In a food processor, blend together all the ingredients except the chocolate chips until very finely blended and smooth.
Remove the blade, scraping off any batter remaining on the blades with a silicon spatula and then stir in most of the chocolate chips, leaving a few for the top of the brownies.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan, top with the reserved chocolate chips and bake at 350 F. for 15 – 18 minutes. Let sit for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
If the brownies turn into mush when cutting, put them in the fridge for 15 minutes or as long as overnight and they will firm up.
Serve (without revealing the secret) and see if anyone figures out that these dense, fudgy brownies have beans in them!
