How to Make Weight Watchers Black Bean Brownies Ww Points 3

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line with aluminum foil, allowing the foil to extend over the edges for easy removal, and grease the foil.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained) and 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder. Blend until completely smooth.
  4. Set aside the black bean mixture.
  5. In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  6. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs and 3/4 cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  7. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the eggs, mixing until well combined.
  8. Add the black bean mixture, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  9. Gradually add 1 cup all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  10. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon OR 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
  11. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (don't overbake).
  13. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  14. Carefully lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil overhang and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
