This is my go to recipe for brownies. they are low fat, high fibre, high protein but taste really moreish.
Spidergrrl's Fudgy Wudgy brownies
Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Grease a rectangular pan like 9x12 or 9x13
Sift/mix together in a bowl:
1 1/4 cup wholemeal pastry flour (or use GF flour like I do)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup demerara sugar (or more if you like or use a sugar stevia blend like I do)
3/4 cup walnuts, broken
1/4-1/2 cup chocolate chips
In your blender add these ingredients:
1 tin black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/4 cup water
3/4 cup pitted medjool dates--about 6 (sometimes if I'm short on dates I just throw in a few TB raisins)
1/4 cup liquid sweetner (Maple/agave/honey if you swing that way--I use Lyles goldren syrup)
1 TB balsamic vinegar
2 TB flax meal
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 tsp instant coffee
Blend like hell until all blended up. Mix wet into dry. bake 14 minutes, turn the pan to bake evenly and then bake 14 more minutes. let cool and cut into 12 squares (3x4)
We love this recipe as they are fudgy and soft but can be made GF. Plus they are not too sweet. They've always come out good for us.
