WARNING! This recipe sounds completely and totally DISGUSTING! Now. I've gotten the warning out of the way! (And when you read the ingredients, remember, I warned you!) Josh's cousin actually passed this recipe along to me. I've been wanting to try it, but to be honest, it sounds so incredibly gross, I've put it off! But one of my friends is pregnant and bedridden, so the boys & I are taking dinner to her tonight. I would make regular brownies or cookies, but she's diabetic, and the last thing I want is to load a pregnant diabetic with sugar! So what better time to try these? Besides, what mom doesn't want to get her kids to eat more protein? I can't wait to see if Elijah will eat these! I've already tried a taste of the batter, and it was surprisingly good. I included a picture of the batter going in, so you can see that the texture actually is like normal, sugary brownies... Please, if you try these, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! :) (I'll let you know what I think, too!)
Brownies
1 can black beans (yeah... told you... disgusting!)
1/3 c melted butter
1/4 c cocoa powder
1/8 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c honey (or artificial sweetener)
3 lightly beaten eggs
1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 c finely chopped walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8x8 pan. Place all ingredients except the eggs, chocolate chips, and nuts in a blender and blend until smooth. Fold in the eggs, chocolate chips, and nuts. Pour into pan and bake about 30 min. Let cool. Enjoy!
They actually aren't too bad. They're definitely not sweet, but since there's no sugar added, that's pretty much a given. The texture is just like normal brownies, and they taste more like they've got dark chocolate than milk chocolate. But Josh & Isaiah both like them (Elijah heard me talking about them, so he won't try them.) But PLEASE DON'T TELL JOSH WHAT IS IN THEM! If he knows, he won't eat them anymore! :)
