In my preschool nutrition class we are learning about protein this week...
So naturally I snuck some into the kiddos' brownies!
What? I ate beans?!
They had no clue... and neither will you!
Black Bean Brownies
1 15oz can organic black beans- drain and rinse
2 flax eggs- 2 T flax seed meal + 6 T water)
3 T coconut oil- melted
3/4 C cocoa powder
1/4 t sea salt
1 t pure vanilla
1/2 C coconut sugar
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/4 C chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9x 9 baking dish with parchment paper. Prep your flax egg by pulsing the water and flax in a blender/food processor. Let sit while to get everything else ready. Add everything except the chocolate chips to the blender/food processor. Blend until nice and smooth, scraping the sides as you go (add 1-2 T of water of you feel like it's too thick). Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour into your pan and spread out until smooth on top. Bake for about 35 minutes. It's hard, but you have to let these cool a good half hour before eating because they are meant to be fudgy and gooey!
You can also do these in a muffin pan (about 25 minutes) or a mini muffin pan (about 18-20 minutes). Adjust your baking times... basically bake until set on top and pulling away from the sides a bit.
Enjoy your protein my friends!!
