Bad Guys 2 Movie Inspo: Undercover Goodies

Undercover Goodies on The Daily Flash TV Show

I just did a TV spot on the national show The Daily Flash with a theme of "Undercover Goodies." We highlighted 3 recipes that look naughty on the outside but are actually good on the inside.

Wolf in Brownie Clothing: Black Bean Brownies

Fudgy and thick...so good! The black beans provide fiber and plant protein.

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Yield 9 - 12 brownies

INGREDIENTS

·       1 1/2 cups black beans (1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed)

·       2 tbsp cocoa powder

·       1/2 cup quick oats

·       1/4 tsp salt

·       1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey

·       1/4 cup vegetable oil

·       2 tsp pure vanilla extract

·       1/2 tsp baking powder

·       1/2 cup chocolate chips to mix in

1/4 cup chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

• Black Bean Brownies Recipe: Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients except chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely smooth. Really blend well. Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8x8 pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top. Cook the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. If they still look a bit undercooked, you can place them in the fridge overnight and they will firm up! Makes 9-12 brownies.
