Black
Bean Brownies Recipe: Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients
except chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely
smooth. Really blend well. (A blender can work if you absolutely
must, but the texture—and even the taste—will be much better in a
food processor.) Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8×8
pan. Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top. Cook
the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10
minutes before trying to cut. Makes 9-12 brownies.
