Make This Month: Black Bean Brownies

I have been keeping things on my Things to Make This Month Board, and the first recipe I followed through with were these black bean brownies.  I made a few modifications, but they were really tasty.  I saw the recipe on Finding Vegan, and I knew I would need to make it.

Instead of cocoa powder, I used raw cacao, because that's what we had on hand.  I also used melted coconut oil instead of vegan butter.  The result was a batter that tasted like delicious fudge.

The resulting brownies were a bit on the gooey side, and they were incredibly rich, but they went really well with a little ice cream.  You can have a small portion and still feel satisfied.

I served them at a game party we had with our friends Sheridan and Drew.  We also put out two beautiful, raw vegan cheesecakes made by That's So Raw.  It was a feast!

So, I would recommend you go out and make these immediately, and if any of you have any black bean brownies I could try, let me know.  I would like to try a few more variations.
