Dr. Janet’s Flourless Dark Chocolate Brownies with Walnuts

Serves 16

A dark, moist chocolaty treat.

One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed

3/4 cup packed Splenda ® Brown Sugar Blend

1/2 cup quick-cooking oats

1/4 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons ground flax seed

1 tablespoon espresso powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch baking pan with nonstick

cooking spray. Place black beans in a mixing bowl. Add the

sugar, oats, cocoa powder, olive oil, espresso powder, flax seed,

vanilla, and salt. With an electric mixer blend the ingredients

until the black beans are mushed up and the mixture is smooth,

about 2 minutes. Scrape batter into the prepared pan and bake

for 30 to 35 minutes until the edges pull away from the sides of

the pan and the middle of the brownies is firm. Let cool before

slicing into 16 pieces.
