I was in the mood for making a treat. But of course I wanted it to be reasonably healthy and not overloaded with sugar. I came across this blog https://goo.gl/kK9RtK and found this recipe for decadent and at the same time healthy brownies. I thought of giving it a try and yes they turned out really good...But I didn't have a key ingredient (chocolate chips) required for the recipe. So I had to make a slight modification and it still turned out good. I followed the recipe as shown on Katie's blog site. All I changed was the amount of cocoa powder. Instead of 10g of cocoa powder I added 85g. For the sweetener I added 1/2 cup of maple syrup.
Here is the recipe which I followed:
In a food processor combine these ingredients:
Black beans cooked - 250g (you can use drained and rinsed 15oz canned beans)
Cocoa powder - 85g
Oats (you can use either steel cut oats or quick oats) - 1/2 cup
salt - 1/4 tsp
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
Maple syrup - 1/2 cup
Coconut oil - 1/4 cup
vanilla extract - 2 tsp
Dark chocolate bar chopped into pieces or chocolate chips - 40g
Combine all of the ingredients mentioned above except the chocolate bar or chocolate chips in a food processor. Grind to a smooth paste. Now add the chocolate chips or chopped pieces of the dark chocolate bar. Pour this into a greased corningware or baking dish that is around 6"X6". Flatten gently with a spatula or apply some coconut oil on your hand and gently flatten the brownie batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool for 15 minutes. Now cut into desired sizes and serve.
