Black Bean Brownies

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked sprouted black beans (canned options are Sprague and Eden brands. They’re soaked and pressure cooked for convenience and ease of digestion)

3 free-range eggs (or egg substitute such as 1/2 mashed banana, 1/4 cup applesauce, 2 tsp gelatin, 1 Tbsp ground flaxseeds or chia seeds per egg)

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/4 cup raw honey, or pure maple syrup

1 Tbsp vanilla

1/3 cup cacao powder

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (Lily’s or Enjoy Life) optional

Directions:

Grease a 9 " inch pan. Line with parchment paper

Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until it’s liquid with no lumps. You may need to add a bit of filtered water if you’re using an egg substitute such as gelatin, flaxseeds, or chia seeds

Stir in the chocolate chips if using

Pour into the cake pan

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean

Cool for 10 minutes

Remove from pan, and cool completely before serving

Cover and refrigerate over night. These taste best cold straight out of the fridge
