Sundays around here are spent whipping up stir fries from leftover veggies from the weeks past meals, and sitting as a family around the small breakfast table. Watching the leaves on the trees change and reminiscing about events past and laughing about funny moments. It's when dad and daughter eat home made brownies and watch boxing matches together. Bobbing and weaving our heads with the boxers and gasping when the fight ends 4 rounds in....it's about family.
"Say What" Brownies....
(From my Kindle book....Vegan on the Cheap by Robin Robertson)
OK you are going to read parts of this scratch your head and think bad thoughts...but I didn't tell my dad what was in this and he practically ate half of the pan.
1.) In a food processor combine :
1 cup of washed and rinsed black beans (you read correctly)
1/2 cup of sugar
3 TBS canola oil.
Blend until completely smooth.
2.) Add: 1 ripe banana, 2 TBS instant coffee (I didn't have any so I substituted wheat germ), 2 tsp vanilla, 4 TBS of cocoa. Mix to blend.
3.) Transfer this to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine with 1/2 cup of unbleached flour, 2 tsp baking powder, pinch of salt.
4.) Fold in chocolate chips.
5.) Pour into a greased 8in square pan and bake at 350 degrees for 18-25 minutes.
***The recipe I was reading forgot to mention the addition of the cocoa, so I never added it and it just tasted more banana bread like. I ended up making a glaze with a little bit of melted chips, butter and cocoa powder for the top. I also couldn't find my square pan and made it in a round dish. The recipe also says to chill it before slicing...I couldn't wait that long....****
