Black Bean Brownies...I had my suspicions. Would they be super dry and grainy? Would you be able to take the savory black beans? Would they satisfy that chocolate brownie craving? No, no, and yes! These are surprisingly, amazingly rich, delicious and gluten free. If you have some time today, bake your family a batch :)

2. Place the black beans in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, oil, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, peppermint extract as desired, baking powder, and salt and process until smooth. Add ¼ cup of the chips and pulse a few times until the chips are incorporated.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top with a rubber spatula, and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips.
4. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan before slicing into 2-inch squares.
