Black Bean Brownies

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
3 eggs
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup splenda
1 teaspoon instant coffee (optional)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)


Preheat oven 350F degrees.

Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan and set aside.

Combine black beans, eggs, oil, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla, splenda, and instant coffee in a blender or food processor until smooth.

If you are using walnuts stir in now.

Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges start to pull
away from the sides of the pan, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Cool completely on a wire rack and then cut brownies.

Enjoy!
