How to Make Stevia Black Bean Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. Drain and rinse 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans. Set aside.
  3. Mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork.
  4. Grind 1 cup of large flake or quick oats in a blender or food processor until finely ground. Set aside.
  5. In a blender or food processor, combine the mashed bananas, black beans, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/4 cup stevia (adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend until completely smooth.
  6. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
  7. Add the ground oats to the blender and blend until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  8. Add more oats, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 squares.
