I finally made some black bean brownies today.
I've been meaning to try them for quite a while and I finally got around to it today. These are every bit as rich and gooey as brownies should be. I think you'll really like them.

Here's the recipe if you don't want to click on the link...
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups black beans (1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed very well) (250g after draining)
2 tbsp cocoa powder (10g)
1/2 cup quick oats (40g) (See nutrition link below for substitutions)
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup pure maple syrup or agave (or honey, but not for strict vegans.) (75g)
pinch uncut stevia OR 2 tbsp sugar (or omit and increase maple syrup to 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup coconut or vegetable oil (40g) (See nutrition link for substitution notes)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips (115-140g) (Not optional. Omit at your own risk.)
optional: more chips, for presentation
Instructions
Black Bean Brownies Recipe: Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients except chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely smooth. Really blend well. (A blender can work if you absolutely must, but the texture—and even the taste—will be much better in a food processor.) Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8x8 pan. Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top. Cook the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. Makes 9-12 brownies.

5. Okay… here's the big question...
Will there be lots of gas afterwards?

6. Well, I ate 4 of them and nothing yet.
Why?
For the love of Dog, why?
I think you'll really like them.

Beans in brownies? :puke:
I swear the dummies could screw up a wet dream.
Careful now--the DUmmies will put black beans in those.

Black beans on a brownie??????????????? :wtf2:
Why?
For the love of Dog, why?
Honey is not vegan approved?No, because it comes from ENSLAVED bees. Seriously. Vegans are that stupid.
Sounds like a nice dessert after a dinner of NJCher's puke stew.With a side of onion yogurt.
No, black beans IN a brownie!!! Again :wtf2:

What, no kale?
After getting over the complete stupidity of putting beans in brownies I noticed the part that I've colored red.
Honey is not vegan approved? Isn't it essentially just plant nectar that's been vomited by bees?
Personally, I like bee vomit, and I'm pretty sure I like bee vomit more than I'd like bean brownies.
someone one put some kind of mushrooms in the mix and I was found face down in a field watching the grass grow.
That explains so much.
:tongue:
Personally, I don't have a problem with black beans in brownies.
Think of the quality of farts, for example. It's the gift that keeps on giving. :-)
Seriously..... Beans AND chocolate??? My husband would never get out of the bathroom.
Actually, I'm kind of surprised that beans is the ingredient they are discussing. Unless "beans" is a euphamism for what strain of pot they're adding.

The "banjo" was a little flat. It's a good thing I don't have "smellavision". :tongue:
Indeed. Between the video and the DUmmies recipe, this thread would probably be classed as a biological weapon.
A chemical weapon, at least. :whistling: :runaway:
