Black Bean Brownies

For reals.

I was looking through my cooking mag the other night and there was a little box with a tip for substituting a 16 oz. can of pureed black beans for the oil AND eggs in a boxed brownie mix.

I didn't believe it, but happened to have both on hand to give it a try.

I used a Betty Crocker Chocolate Chunk Brownie mix, which, in the high altitude directions called for 1/3 cup of water, 1/3 cup oil, and 2-3 eggs.

I drained and rinsed my beans and threw them in the Ninja until mashed, then added the water and brownie mix, but omitted the oil and eggs. I baked it as directed, although I don't have a 9x9 pan so I used a 8x11.

They were freaking awesome.
