Vegan Black Bean Brownies- Gluten Free


I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH OF THESE!!! Last night I decided to go out on a whim and make black bean brownies. I was skeptical at first because the thought of black beans being in my brownies does not sound the least bit appetizing. I have heard about black bean brownies so many times before, so I decided to try them out myself. They turned out absolutely amazing!! They taste just as good, if not better, than the real sugar filled brownies. These are also vegan and gluten free.. definitely does not get much better than that! *Highly Recommend This Recipe* Recipe via Chocolate Covered Katie.

Ingredients:
- 1 15 oz can of black beans (drained & rinsed VERY well)
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 cups quick oats
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or agave (honey will work too if not vegan)
- 2 stevia packets
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions:
* Preheat oven to 350 F
* Drain & Rinse black beans very well
* Combine all ingredients except for chocolate chips in food processor (can be done in a blender but may not taste as good)
* Fold in chocolate chips to mixture
* Pour mixture in greased 8x8 pan
* Cook for 15 minutes
