Black Bean Brownies

• 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Rinsed, Drained
• 2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
• 6 Tablespoons Oats
• 2 Tablespoons Ground Flax
• 1/8 teaspoons Salt
• 1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 2 Tablespoons Splenda Or Stevia
• 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 3 Tablespoons Honey
• 2-1/2 Tablespoons Brown Rice Syrup
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla
• 4 Tablespoons Coconut Or Vegetable Oil (or A Combination Of Both)
• 1/2 cups Stir-ins (coconut, Chocolate Chips, Nuts, Dried Fruit, Etc.)

1. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F and grease a 9" pie dish.
2. Take the black beans and process them in your food processor-or just mash them up really well. Once the beans are mashed up, stick them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Now, mix together the dry ingredients (except the stir-ins): cocoa powder, oats, flax, salt, cinnamon, Splenda (or stevia), and baking powder; process them a little bit. Add to the beans and mash it all together.
4. Now, add the honey and brown rice syrup and stir the mixture. Add the vanilla and coconut/vegetable oil(s), and stir again.
5. For these brownies, you are going to have to add some stir-ins, otherwise they will fall apart. It doesn't matter what you decide to put in them, but you need to have at least a total of 1/2 cup. I added a 1/2 cup mixture of nuts, coconut, and chocolate chips, but of course, you can add whatever you like.
6. Fold your stir-ins into the batter. Pour the batter into the pie dish, and bake for 20-30 minutes.
7. Brownies are done when you put the poker in and it comes out clean, and the brownies are not runny in the center.
