BLACK BEAN BROWNIES

     I bet a lot of people didn't know you can make many good desserts with vegetables, beans being one of them. This is no fancy dessert but a good palette pleaser when you want that little something!

• 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup egg beaters
• 3 tblsp extra virgin olive oil
• 4 tblsp cocoa power
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp instant coffee granules
• 1/2 cup sugar
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, to sprinkle on top

     Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour beans into a food processor and process until smooth, scraping the bowl down a few times.   Add the rest of ingredients and blend until evenly mixed.  Pour into a 8x8 greased pan and bake for 1/2 hour.  Sprinkle with the chocolate chips.  Cool before cutting and enjoy!
