Brownies

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 1/2 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • 3/4 cup egg substitute
  • 2 tablespoons low-calorie sugar free chocolate syrup, such as Walden Farms
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream, such as Breakstone's
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 packets (84g) Truvia or 8 tablespoons granulated Splenda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Spray an 8x8-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Combine the beans, cocoa powder, espresso powder and egg, substitute in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl halfway through.
  3. Add the chocolate syrup, sour cream, butter, Truvia, and vanilla. Process until all of the ingredients are combined, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, turning the dish halfway through the baking time. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out with soft batter clinging to it.
  5. Let the brownies cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack. Then cut into 12 squares and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers.
