So these brownies were originally going
to be called 'Paleo Brownies' since most the people I know who follow the
‘Caveman Diet’ allow black beans in moderation. But recently there was a discussion in the
Delectably Different Kitchen on whether or not they could be considered truly paleo.
I consulted with my resident Paleo-ite (I'm
pretty sure that’s what they’re called *smile), and after a great debate, I
received a re-education on exactly what paleo is. I decided to call these brownies grain-free
instead! No matter what they're called,
they are still a delicious, moist, and healthy treat! I hope you enjoy my newest creation...
Here’s what you'll
need:
1 15oz can of black beans,
drained 1/4 cup egg whites (equivalent to about 2 eggs)
1 egg
1/2 dark chocolate powder
1/4 cup Bob’s Red Coconut Sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened
applesauce
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 tsp coconut extract1/4 Cup Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour
Additional coconut shreds and sugar for garnish
Combine
all the ingredients in the order listed.
I wasn't kidding when I said they were super easy! Mix on high until all the ingredients are
well blended and the batter is smooth.
Pour into the
prepared pan, then sprinkle a bit of shredded coconut and coconut sugar across
the top. bake for 30 - 35 minutes.
