Gluten Free Double Chocolate Black Bean Brownies Food

GLUTEN-FREE BLACK BEAN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and move a rack to the middle of the oven. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
• Combine 1/2 cup water and the beans in a blender or food processor and blend until the mixture resembles the consistency of a grainy chocolate pudding. Add the cocoa powder, sugar, oil, vanilla, salt and eggs, and blend until smooth. Scrape out the batter into a large mixing bowl.
• Use a double boiler to melt 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips or place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway through. Stir the melted chocolate into the black bean mixture and add the remaining chocolate chips. Mix until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the edges separate from the pan slightly, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Cool for 10 minutes, then sift the confectioners' sugar over the top and cut into sixteen 2-inch squares to serve.

MAGIC BLACK BEAN BROWNIES (GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325*F, and grease a small (8x8 or 9x9) pan. Break up the unsweetened chocolate, and combine it with the fat (butter, coconut oil or shortening). Heat the mixture on low power in the microwave or in a double boiler, stirring often, until it's melted and combined.
• Meanwhile, put the black beans, agave, vanilla, espresso powder, and salt in a food processor. Add the chocolate mixture, and process 2-3 minutes - until the black beans are obliterated and the mixture is well-combined. Add almond flour (or coconut flour), flax meal, and baking soda. Process two minutes more. Fold in nuts & chocolate chips, if using.
• Pour the mixture into the greased baking pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes - until the top is set, but be careful about burning the edges. Allow to cool for at least an hour; otherwise, the brownies may be too gooey to slice.
• Store covered on the counter, or for a firmer brownie, in the refrigerator.
