Black Bean Blender Brownies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked black beans, rinsed and drained well
• 3/4 cup sugar or 1/3 cup honey
• 2 TB melted butter or oil
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 TB vanilla
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  

Combine all ingredients in a blender (except for walnuts) and blend on high for 1 minute. Make sure the beans are completely pureed. Stir in the nuts.

Pour into a greased 8x8 pan. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Let cool and frost, if desired. I like to frost them after cooling for 10 minutes. Then refrigerate, until chilled.
