Healthy Black Bean Brownies

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray the sides and bottom of a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with canola or olive oil.

Place black beans in a strainer and rinse with water, draining well. Pour black beans into a blender.

Crack eggs into a separate dish, then add to the blender. Add melted butter to blender and then blend well.

Add remaining brownie ingredients to the blender. Make sure to dissolve the coffee granules in the listed amount of water before adding it into the blender. Blend well until all ingredients are incorporated. (The Godiva Liqueur is optional but will give outstanding richness to the brownies).

Pour brownie batter into prepared pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until firm and dry in the middle.

Allow brownies to cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with your favorite vanilla frosting. Cut into single servings.

Store brownies in the refrigerator, tightly covered for up to 4 days.
