Brownie with a Difference

I rather enjoyed photographing these jolly little black beans.

Here's a recipe I'm completely in love with...

Healthy Grain-Free Brownies (yup, made with black beans)

Throw in the blender -
2 cups of cooked black beans (I soak mine for 24 hours, before cooking in a pot for at least 4 hours - Sally Fallon would be proud)
3 eggs
1/3 cup raw cocoa powder (oh I'm pretty heavy handed - usually ends up almost 1/2 a cup)
1 teaspoon (or more) vanilla powder (or essence)
1/3 cup raw local of course honey
2 tablespoons coconut butter/oil
a pinch of sea salt

Blend everything up until it resembles a smooth runny batter, pour into a lined 8" x 8" tin and bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes.

Who'd have thought hey? Black beans!

PS I can't buy black beans here (not in any way, shape or form) - now there's a Christmas present idea....... hint hint my darling sister!

PPS For my Norfolk friends....here's where I order black beans (& raw cocoa powder & coconut oil & and all the other things I eat but can't buy at Foodies)
