Magic Brownies
Servings | 16
Servings | 16
1 15-ounce can black beans, unstrained
1 Tbls cinnamon
1 box fat-free brownie mix (no Pudge)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (or the temperature specified on the mix).
2. In the food processor or blender, puree black beans, including liquid, with cinnamon until smooth. (You'll see the skins of the beans, but that's OK. You won't be able to taste them.)
3. Transfer to mixing bowl, and combine with brownie mix. Stir by hand until shiny and mostly lump-free. Pour batter into a greased 8-by-8 baking pan. Bake about 30 minutes, or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
5 Brownies will be rich, moist and cakelike. When they cool, cut immediately into 16 regular-size squares or 30 bite-size squares.

This recipe is on the Recipe Forum. I make it often and we all love it. I did make a couple of changes to suit our taste. Enjoy!!
