Flourless Brownies Gluten Free

Both of these are wonderful.  People will not know if you don't tell them.
No one will ever guess the secret ingredient in this recipe: black beans or chickpeas!

1 (15-ounce) can  black beans, drained and rinsed (No salted added if you can find them)
3 large eggs
1/3 cup melted butter
