This is my first attempt at gluten free brownies made with beans. I won’t lie, they tasted a bit healthy but with vanilla ice cream they are just perfect.

 

 

Start with 15 oz. of cooked black beans from a can or cooked yourself.

 

 

Drain and rinse them.

 

 

In a blender add beans,

 

 

eggs, coconut oil, vanilla, 

 

 

a handful of dates,

 

 

cocoa powder,

 

 

sugar,

 

 

millet flour, salt and baking powder. Blend until smooth. Add a little water if it get too thick to blend.

 

 

spoon into greased muffin tins and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.

 

 

Optional: top with chopped nuts.

 

 

serve warm or make ahead and serve with vanilla ice cream.
