Bean Making Brownies

Chocolate Brownies. Decadent, yes. Healthy, no.  Until now. 

Don't get me wrong, these will never be classified as a superfood, they will not make you live to 127, but in comparison to their classic counterparts, these little beauties are a lot kinder to the waistline whilst tasting super gooey and amazing. 

No butter, no flour, no eggs, no oil. No worries. 

What You'll Need:

(Original recipe taken from the brilliant Chocolate Covered Katie, and adapted).

1 can black beans, drained. 

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1/2 cup oats

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup maple syrup OR 1/3 cup agave nectar with 2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup Greek yoghurt

2 teaspoon vanilla essence

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 bar of milky bar (or other white choc)

Optional extras:

1 Mars bar for chunky decoration on top

1/3 cup Greek yoghurt to swirl through for marbled effect (as pictured)

The How-To:

1. Well mix all ingredients except the milky bar and optional extras in a blender until very smooth

2. Roughly chop the milky bar

3. Pour brownie mix into a baking tray covered with baking paper

4. Stir through milky bar until evenly spread

(Optional step: evenly dollop extra Greek yogurt on top and stir through with a spoon until batter is 'marbled')

5. Scatter mars bar on top of the mixture

6. Cook in 180 degrees for 25 minutes. Leave at least 10 minutes before trying to slice into. 

Tip: taste even better cold!
