I am always looking for sweets to eat, so when I found this recipe for Flourless Chocolate Cake at Meal Makeover Moms I knew I had to try it. It is really not cake at all but tastes more like brownies.
1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
3 eggs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup cocoa powder (I used carob)
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Stevia to equal 3/4 Cup Sugar
1 teaspoon instant coffee (optional) I did not use the coffee
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (optional) I used unsweetened carob chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 square baking dish.
Combine the black beans, eggs, oil, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract, sugar, and instant coffee in a blender; blend until smooth; pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes

Hi, I'm a new follower from It's Friday I'm Hopping. The black bean brownies look very similar to some I made with a group of kids. They all claimed to hate black beans but somehow the pan of brownies disappeared very fast. They tasted really good!

This recipe looks awesome - I love black beans and carob. Thanks for submitting it to the May 2011 SOS Kitchen CHallenge! We did, however, remove the link. We ask that participants follow the rules (http://www.affairsofliving.com/sos-kitchen-challenge/) which include linking back to our blogs and only entering recipes posted to your blog during the month of the challenge. To be fair to all who participate, we need to maintain those rules. If you'd like to enter, please create a new recipe using carob - I'm sure you'll come up with something fantastic. Thanks for understanding!
