Prep time: 15 min

Serves: 12 brownies

Ingredients:

Cooking spray, Non-Dairy spread or Organic Butter, for greasing pan

3/4 cup cooked black beans, rinsed & drained and pureed

1/2 cup coconut oil, or olive oil

2 organic eggs

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup All Natural Peanut Butter (warmed in microwave for 20 seconds)

2/3 cup favorite natural sweetener (I used maple sugar conveniently found at Trader Joe’s)

1 tsp instant coffee or espresso

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, divided

1/3 cup GF pastry flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375. Grease a 9×13 baking pan.

Mix all ingredients and add to pan. With a butter knife or rubber spatula/scraper, swirl in warm peanut butter.

Bake for 20 minutes. Test the center of the brownies with a toothpick. If toothpick comes out clean, they are done.

Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting and removing from the pan.

REMEMBER a small treat is okay but only one serving at a time![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
