Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies — Kelli Pitrone | Nutritious recipes, healthful living

Mondays were made for BROWNIES, especially these dark chocolate peanut butter swirl yummies. Black bean brownies get a bad rap but I swear these will change your mind

-1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

-1 large egg

-2 tsp vanilla extract

Blend very well in a food processor or blender. Pour into a large mixing bowl and add:

-1/4 cup olive oil

-1/3 cup maple syrup

-2 Tbs brown rice flour

-1/2 3 oz bar Endangered Species 88% cocoa dark chocolate melted

-1/4 cup Hershey's special dark cocoa powder

-1/2 tsp salt

Mix well and pour into a prepared cake pan. Before baking swirl 1/4 cup natural peanut butter into the top of the brownies. Place PB in a bowl and microwave for 15 seconds to loosen it up before swirling. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes
