1/2 C oats

1/4 t salt

1/2 C honey

Black Bean Brownies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Blend beans in a food processor until very smooth. I used my Vitamix and blended them as much as I could on high, then put them in a bowl and used a fork to mash the rest.

3. Add the rest of your ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) in the bowl

4. Blend until smooth

5. Stir in chocolate chips

6. Pour batter into a greased 8×8 pan and sprinkle coconut on top if you’d like

7. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean (except for the melted chocolate chips)

8. Cool, then refrigerate.
