Black Bean Brownies (Sbd)

• 1 (15 ounce) can unseasoned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups Splenda sugar substitute
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons oil (or 2 TBS unsweetened applesauce for Phase 2)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup non-fat powdered milk
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
• chopped nuts (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
2. Mix all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth-you will have to scrap down the sides a few times to make sure it is evenly blended.
3. Pour into an 8x8-inch pan sprayed with non stick cooking spray.
4. Bake at 350u0b0F for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Sprinkle additional cocoa powder on top if desired.
6. Cover with saran wrap to keep fresh or freeze in individual pieces and defrost in the microwave whenever those munchies set in!
