Black Bean Brownies

a couple of weeks okay, pappa rabbit mentioned that he saw someone on t.v. make some black bean brownies and i was intrigued. i like black beans and i love brownies, so last night i went searching and found this recipe. i haven't tried it yet, but plan to.
Ingredients
• 1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 3 eggs (try egg beaters)
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (try applesauce)
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder (try 1/3 cup)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (try extra)
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (optional)

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 square baking dish.
2. Combine the black beans, eggs, oil, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract, and sugar in a blender; blend until smooth; pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the mixture.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes.

the black beans basically replace the flour. the reviews for this recipe were really good. the ideas in the parenthesis' were ideas that some of the reviewers tried. could be interesting.
