Black Bean Brownies (recipe from C.)

Combine in blender and mix until well pureed:

1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 egg
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
6 Tbsp margarine

In a separate bowl, combine:

6 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

Add to blender and pulse until just combined.

Beat until light and fluffy:

3 eggs

Once eggs are fluffy, slowly add, still beating:

3/4 cups sugar

Add bean puree mixture to eggs/sugar and mix until just combined. Put into a 9x9 pan and bake for 20 minutes (may need longer! Cake should be set and not jiggly when done).
