Agave Nectar Black Bean Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line an 11 x 18 inch rimmed baking pan(sheet pan or jelly roll pan) with parchment paper and lightly oil with canola oil spray.
• Melt the chocolate and butter in a glass bowl in the microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on high. Stir with a spoon to melt the chocolate completely. Place the beans, 1/2 cup of the walnuts, the vanilla extract, and a couple of spoonfuls of the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl of a food processor. Blend about 2 minutes, or until smooth. The batter should be thick and the beans smooth. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the remaining 1/2 cup walnuts, remaining melted chocolate mixture, coffee substitute, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, with an electric mixer beat the eggs until light and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the agave nectar and beat well. Set aside.

• Add the egg mixture, reserving about 1/2 cup. Mix well. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Using and electric mixer, beat the remaining 1/2 cup egg mixture until light and fluffy.
