So, I've been looking for a healthier brownie recipe. I've tried lots of recipes with black beans, others with avocados, but have never been really happy with them. I think I've finally found what I'm looking for. I took an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie bar recipe and just added cocoa (well, actually, cacao powder). It's not the healthiest thing out there because it has brown sugar. I haven't tried it with honey or another substitution, but it's miles ahead of regular cookies and brownies, right? And the best part is that I've made these a few times and my kids have no idea they have beans in them. Update: the last time I made these, I wasn't too excited about them. I did find another healthier brownie I like.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine in food processor:
1 can beans (I used white this time), drained and rinsed
1/4 c. cacao powder
1/2 cup quick oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 dates, pitted
1/8 cup applesauce
1 1/2 TB oil
1/4 tsp each salt and baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
Then add 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips and stir them in by hand.
Put in a square baking dish; bake 35 mins.
