BROWNIES!

I made these yesterday afternoon for desert with dinner.

I must say, they were very well liked.

I got the recipe for these lovely temptations from Chocolate-covered Katie. They are not only awesomely delicious, but are gluten-free(good for me) and full of good stuff like protein. I've written the recipe how I did it. For the original, click the link to Katie's blog.

No-Flour Black Bean Brownies

(gluten-free)

• 1 1/2 cups black beans (from can, drained and rinsed very well)
• 2 1/5 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup honey
• 2 packets of Splenda
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips(Not optional. Omit at your own risk.)
• optional: more chips, for presentation (I sprinkled about 1/4 cup more)

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients except chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely smooth. Really blend well. (I used a blender.) Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8×8 pan. Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top. Cook 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. Makes 12 brownies.
