These dense dairy-free, egg-free brownies are packed with protein and are a healthier version. No one will know they have beans in them!
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup agave nectar (or 2/3 cup raw sugar)
2/3 cup Gefen Unsweetened Applesauce
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup Gefen Cocoa
1/2 cup Shibolim Whole Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cinnamon (optional)
1/2 cup quick oats
Mix together all ingredients, except oats, in a food processor. Process batter until thick and smooth. Add oats and process again until combined.
Pour into oiled eight- by eight-inch pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Brownie will be really fudgy.
Cool completely and cut into squares. (If you want a more cake-like brownie, you can add 1/4 cup more quick oats or 1/4 cup unbleached flour.) This recipe does not freeze well. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
