Guilt Free Brownies!



Gluten Free and Grain Free…Guilt Free dessert.  



If you are looking for a way to have your cake and eat it too….well then, here ya go.  These guilt free brownies are super healthy. Using Stevia instead of table sugar makes these almost sugar free.  I use stevia as a sweetner but if you like sugar then by all means use regular sugar.  Some people do not like the taste of Stevia.  I personally do, and my kids are used to it and gobble these up like my last name is Crocker and my first name is Betty.




 Ingredients:



  • 1 (15oz) can no salt added black beans completley drained
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 Tsp vanilla
  • 1 Tsp cinammon
  • 3 Tbs coconut oil melted ( or oil of choice)
  • 1/4 cup pure coco powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips ( white chocolate chips for the topping optional)
  • 3/4 cup pure cane sugar 
  • pinch of salt
***I use about 1-2 tsp liquid stevia to make these sugar free and a shot of honey I taste it to see if its sweet enough.  We don't eat them that sweet so you may want to add more***

Heat oven to 350º
Lightly grease 8X8 pan

Put black bean in a food processor and blend till smooth.  Add eggs, vanilla, cinammon, melted coconut oil, coco powder, sugar, salt.  Blend all until well mixed.  Fold in chocolate chips, spread in pan and then top with extra chocolate chips if desired.  Nuts are a great topping too!

Also, if you like coffee, then add a couple of tbs of instant coffee to have a little coffee kick…why not live a little.  I use decaf instant coffee when I do this step.  It is delicious!

Bake for 30 minutes.

Look at them baking up!

Dust with powdered sugar for a pretty presentation.




Hope you enjoy these healthy treats!
