Decadent
Blender Brownies (black bean and avocado chocolate brownies)
(Recipe and photo adapted
from www.ambitiouskitchen.com...my family ate the brownies so fast I didn't take any photos).
Ingredients:
1 - 15 oz can of black beans, rinsed and drained
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
1/2 of a large extra ripe avocado
1 teaspoon coconut or olive oil
2/3 cup of cacao powder OR 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder alkaline
free
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8 inch baking
pan.
2. Place all
ingredients besides chocolate chips into blender. Process or puree until
ingredients form a smooth batter. This batter
needs to be very thick in order to produce fudgy brownies.
3. Add in 1/3 cup
chocolate chips and fold into batter. We use Enjoy Life chocolate chunks.
4. Pour batter into
prepared pan.
5. Bake for 25-35
minutes or until knife inserted in center
comes out somewhat
clean and top of the brownies begin to crack.
6. Cool pan completely
on wire rack then cut into squares.
A Few tidbits:
*To make free of top 8
food allergens: Use a brand called Enjoy Life chocolate chips and sub a flax
egg for the egg and egg whites.
*It is easy to switch
the maple syrup for either: ½ cup honey
OR 2/3 cup coconut sugar. Just be sure to taste your batter for desired
sweetness.
In our family we keep these suckers in the refrigerator, which makes them even more decadent.
