These sound odd but they are so good.

Courage up and give them a try.

Bean brownies

1 1/4 cups pinto beans, cooked

1/2 cup cocoa powder, I use Hershey's

1 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 tsps. vanilla

1 egg white

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

 

Puree beans in a food processor, blender, or mash by hand.

Blend melted butter, bean puree, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Add egg

white and beat well with spoon.

Combine flour, cocoa and baking powder. Gradually add to bean mixture until well

blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread in a greased 8-inch square pan. Bake at

350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until brownie begins to pull away from edges

of pan. Cool. Cut into squares. Yields 16 servings.
