Just found Healthier Black Bean Brownies??? Gluten Free




    The first person to try this let us know how they are.
    Low Calorie Black Bean Brownies  Gluten Free
               
Ingredients

    Cups Black Beans, Drained & Rinsed 
    2 Medium Bananas
    1/3 Cup Agave Nectar or Honey 
    1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa 
    1 tablespoon cinnamon
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
    1/4 cup sugar (optional) 
    1/3 cup instant oats


Directions

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8x8" pan and set aside.

Combine all ingredients except oats, in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth, scrapping sides as needed. Stir in the oats and pour batter into the pan. Bake approx. 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing

Note 1: if you find these brownies are too soft or too fudgey, add another 1/4 cup oats or flour.
Note 2: The cinnamon can be a little bit overpowering - next time I will reduce it

Slice into 16 2-inch squares
