Black Bean Brownies

So today while roaming around the house, I adapted a vegan brownie recipe I saw online, not entirely original however I did not use all ingredients they listed. Instead I used what I had on hand. Now, I will tell you I have always loved brownies. I have not ever had a brownie that did not have flour or eggs in it. Although I had eggs on hand, I felt ambitious and felt that trying a veganized version would be great. While making this recipe, I also adapted a recipe by Vegan Dad for a "vegan sausage" but that will be a seperate blog entry. 

Anyway, I must say these brownies are so good and moist. The fat that I only  used a few items, was very enjoyable and easy. These are very good. I would say make them with your loved ones or even kids! I used my magic bullet so it made the batter very smooth and you really couldn't tell that I had black beans in them. I would add the cocoa powder for addition next time. Since I did not have that on hand, I did not add to my recipe. 

To do this without the chocolate chips is not recommended. 

Enjoy
