Delicious Black Bean Brownies Recipe:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients EXCEPT the chips in a food processor and blend until completely smooth. Really blend well. Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8×8 pan. If you like, sprinkle some extra chocolate chips over the top. 

Bake the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before cutting. If the brownies look soft or undercooked you can refrigerate them for a few hours or even over-night. They will firm up! This recipe will make 12 brownies.
