Black Bean Brownies

This is one of my favorite dairy-free recipes.  As with my others, I scoured the internet, found several, played with variations until I had tweaked and created to my liking.

1 can black beans, rinsed well and drained
2 Tbs coconut oil
1 egg
1 Tbs all natural applesauce
1 Tbs pumpkin
1 Tbs coconut milk (canned, not from refrigerator section)
1/4 cup +/-  Agave (this can be halved with raw Stevia)
1/3 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips (leave a few out to add later if you like chunky)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch salt
2 Tbs shredded unsweetened coconut flakes

Put all in a blender, wet first, beans last.  Add them a little at a time.  Puree until smooth.  It will take several minutes.  Spray mini cupcake tin well with Pam or equivalent. Bake15 minutes at 350.  Cool 5-10 minutes before removing from tin.  Refrigerate or freeze whatever you don't eat.

These are great for after a hard work out, or a marathon, which I am doing tomorrow!
