Black Bean Brownies - REVISED

No, I'm serious.

Found this recipe on food52.com and thought I'd give it a whirl. (Had to tweak it somewhat, as some ingredients were missing from the list, yet were added in the instructions, but whatev). A wonderful brownie, moist and tasty, and no 'black bean' taste - not that there's anything wrong with that.

And fibre in brownies? You are my new BFF.

1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp instant coffee
¼ cup cocoa powder 
½ tsp baking powder 
3 eggs
1 Tbsp ground flax seed, plus a splash of water
Dash of salt

250 g pkg dark chocolate chips 
4 Tbsp canola oil

splash of pure vanilla extract
1 cup crushed walnuts (I used pecans)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and spray an 8 x 8 pan w/ Pam. 

Mix the ground flax seeds with a splash of water, set aside.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave or on double boiler.

Combine all ingredients (except nuts) into your good processor - blend until smooth.  

Place into baking dish - top w/ crushed nuts and bake for 30-35 mins.
