High Fibre Brownies

The result is a thick, fudge-like brownie that's rich and delicious with boosted nutrition

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
  1/2 cup prunes
  1/4 cup packed dark brown (or light) sugar
  1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  1/3 cup dark cocoa powder
  1/2 cup oats
  1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp BP
  1 (15.5-oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed (or 1 1/2 cups cooked dried beans)
  1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Add black beans, process until smooth, adding a cup of the water in a steady stream to thin the mixture. The beans & prunes will be smooth with a few chunks.

Add the brown sugar and vanilla extract and pulse a few times to combine.
Add the oats, flour, salt & BP to food processor and pulse until combined.
Add the remaining cup of water in a stream until a thick but smooth batter has formed. (You might not need all the water.)
Add the chocolate chips and pulse a few times to mix in.

Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, then pour in the brownie batter.
Bake 30 mins or til a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing into 12 brownies.

Note: For a party, slice into 24 smaller brownies.
