These brownies are pretty gooey and very delicious with a lot of flavors going on. The beans make the batter moist and delicious. Consider serving in a bowl with a little ice cream on the side.
1 15-ouce can black beans rinsed very well and drained
1/2cupmaple syrup
1/4cupvegetable oil
2teaspoonsvanilla extract
Topping
1/4cupcreamy peanut butter
1tablespoonsoftened butter
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1/3cupstrawberry jam
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x9 inch pan lightly with oil.
Add all ingredients (cocoa powder through vanilla extract) to a large blender or the bowl of a food processor and blend until a wet dough is formed. Pour batter into prepared baking pan.
Melt the peanut butter and butter for 1 minute in a microwave-safe bowl. Blend together well then swirl into brownie batter.
Swirl 1/3 cup of jam in a different direction with a butter knife, through the peanut butter, trying not to touch the sides of the pan as the jam will burn.
Bake for 33-36 minutes until a tooth pick comes out clean when inserted into a middle brownie section. Let cool (brownies are gooey), then cut and serve.
