How to Make Black Bean Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
  3. In a blender, combine 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed), 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup Splenda (or your preferred sweetener).
  4. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
