Actually Delicious Gluten-Free Brownies

Okay, so in the last while I have developed a very low tolerance for gluten. Also, I love chocolate-- By love I mean a love that burns with the heat of a thousand suns. That much. This lovely and strange recipe combines the best of both worlds. 

I tried to do some variations to make them a little more calorie friendly, however, they tasted like crap. So, stick to the recipe.

 Here it is:

Gluten-Free Brownie Town

In a blender combine:

1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)

3 Eggs

2T Oil (I used canola)

1/4C+2T Cocoa powder

1 pinch of salt (I used Sea)

1t Vanilla extract

3/4C Sugar--DO NOT USE SPLENDA

3T Ground flax seed (Or omit this and add an extra T of oil)

1t Instant coffee (optional-I did not use this)

 Here are all of the lovely layers pre-blend.

 This is what it will look like. Just like good ol' gluten-full brownies. 

 Pour the blender contents into an 8x8 pan that has been lined w/ foil and sprayed with nonstick spray. Sprinkle the top with 1/2 C Chocolate Chips (Maybe more :))

 One of the great things about this recipe is the amount of dishes you'll have upon completion.

 Bake at 350 for about 23-30 min--depending on your oven temp and elevation etc. When the top is dry and the sides pull away from the pan, they're done. Try really hard not to overcook these.

This is the final, delicious, product.

The texture is a little different, but it is a really great substitute for brownies. 

Let me know if you try this and what your thoughts are. I am going to go make some...then proceed to eat at least 1/3 of the pan. Don't tell anyone.
