Brownies:

Makes 1- large, 8x8 brownie or 12-16 small cupcake brownies, depending on how large you make them.

• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup apple sauce or mashed bananas (instead of vegetable oil)
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup granulated sweetener (sugar or monk fruit)
• 1/2 cup baking cocoa
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (swap in 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract for a fun twist)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp salt

Optional add-ins:

Icing:

1. Using a food processor, blend the beans and apple sauce until smooth.
2. Add the vanilla and eggs and pulse to incorporate.
3. Add the sugar and pulse to blend.
4. In a mix bowl, mix salt, baking powder, cocoa powder.
5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing to incorporate. Usually, I add the dry ingredients in thirds, mixing in between additions.
6. Mix all ingredients well.
7. Pour batter into a 'greased' or parchment-lined 8x8 baking dish.
8. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
9. If making cupcakes, then cut the cooking time down to 12-15 minutes. Check doneness and cook longer, as needed.
10. For the cupcakes, use an ice cream scoop to ensure even size and even cooking!
