This delicious dessert is our new favorite, seriously! Katie first found this recipe on AllRecipes.com and has revised it to be healthier by adding coconut oil instead of vegetable oil which the recipe called for! Also added more cocoa and vanilla! If anyone has any suggestions of what we could add to make it even healthier please post a comment.

RECIPE: TOOTIES (Black Bean Brownies)
1 (15.5 ounce) can organic black beans, rinsed and drained
3 organic brown eggs
3 tablespoons organic coconut oil
1/3 cup organic cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
1/2 tbsp organic vanilla extract (could substitute coconut crystals or maybe agave nectar!)
3/4 cup organic sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips to sprinkle across the top (we use organic, dairy free, gluten free)
***you can taste your batter as you go and add more of what you think it needs!
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 square baking dish.
2. Combine the black beans, eggs, coconut oil, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract, 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.
4.Allow Tooties to cool, slice and eat! Make sure to cover with saran wrap or Ziploc bag any left, so they don’t dry out! You can bring them to work with you for a nice dessert at lunch!
These are really yummy and GLUTEN FREE! Just don't say they're brownies, or that they are made of beans, just call them Tootie bars and they won't have a clue! :) Katie gave these to a couple guys and they had no idea they were eating beans!
