I know this sounds terrible....

But you gotta try it.


Black bean brownies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a food processor or blender, combine
-1 can black beans, rinsed well
-1 cup sweet potatoes (the recipe called for canned yams but I figure sweet potatoes are much better for ya)
-3 eggs
-1/4 cup light coconut milk  (I didn't have coconut milk so I substituted soy milk)
-4ish tbsp cocoa powder
-4ish tbsp truvia (I didn't add any sugar)-3ish tbsp vanilla
-1 tbsp instant espresso powder (optional)
-1 tbsp cinnamon (optional)

Combine ingredients and blend until batter is a cake-like consistency. Pour into a lightly greased 8x8 pan and bake for approx. 40 mins.

Since I didn't add any kind of sweetener I eat mine with honey on top...and a little smudge of homemade peanut butter! YUMMY!!! And you get your chocolate fix while eating healthy! Can't beat that!
