High protein low carb Brownie

Do you want to make your cheat meal feeling you not that guilty? Here you are one flour less brownie with "good" slow digesting carbs. I like to top these with raspberries but it’s not necessary. On your cheat day, you could melt some leftover chocolate chips and frost them. The raspberries make them look pretty when you bring them to a party.

Ingredients

1. 1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2. 1/4 cup carob or cocoa powder (unsweetened) / or chocolate protein, my favorite is MRM Veggie chocolate for really high protein content/
3. 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips or dark chocolate 70% cocoa
4. 2 eggs
5. 1/3 cup coconut oil or melted butter
6. 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
7. 1/4 tsp cinnamon
8. 1/4 tsp salt
9. 1/2 tsp baking powder
10. 1 tsp instant coffee
11. 1-2 tbp stevia - if you use chocolate protein, don`t use stevia

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Either line an 8 by 8 baking dish with parchment paper and leave a little out on 2 sides to make it easy to lift out after they're baked, or Grease baking dish with butter or use non-stick dish.
3. Mix all ingredients in a food processor until batter consistency.
4. Pour batter into baking dish and level it out.
5. Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Let cool for 10 minutes then remove by holding edges of parchment paper to lift out.
7. Let cool for another 10 min. and then slice to squares on a cutting board.
