Flourless Black Bean Brownies

I was craving something sweet today, so I modified a recipe to come up with these brownie-like-things!!  If you're expecting ghiradelli, you may be slightly disappointed.  If you have an open mind and love good food that's healthy and guilt free, you'll love em!

16 oz cooked black beans **
2 bananas
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/3 cup coconut flour
2 Tbs chia seeds (sneaking em in, all the time!)
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
**1/2 salt


Blend in a food processor until super smooth, scraping down sides.  About 5-6 minutes total.

Bake in a well-coconut-oil-greased 8x8 pan for about 30 minutes at 350.

Taste the batter and feel free to add more cocoa, I think I may next time!  The texture is very soft and fudgy, and the taste has been 5 year old approved!

Eating her third...

** I prefer to stay away from canned goods whenever possible, because canning changes the pH balance of your foods.  BUT, if you've got em, use em!  Can't be perfect all the time.  Use the salt only if you're using unsalted/homemade black beans, or it'll be really salty!  Be sure to drain and rinse your canned beans well.
