Black Bean Brownies with Walnuts

Ingredients:

1, 15-oz can black beans, drained and rinsed very well

2 tbsp cocoa
powder (add a little extra if desired)

1/2 cup quick oats

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup pure maple syrup or agave

2 stevia packs

1/4 cup coconut oil

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup walnuts

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Combine all ingredients except the walnuts in a good food
   processor, and blend until completely smooth, 2-3 minutes (A blender can work
   if you absolutely must, but the texture—and even the taste—will be much better
   in a food processor.)
3. Pour into an oiled 8×8 pan. Mix in the walnuts. Optional:
   sprinkle extra walnuts over the top.
4. Cook 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before
   trying to cut. Makes 9-12 brownies.
