Black Bean Brownies

This recipe comes from a friend.

1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
3 eggs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 + 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350, lightly cover a 8" x 8" pan with non-stick spray.

Place all ingredients except for chocolate chips into blender and blend until smooth. Or use bowl and immersion blender.

Pour mixture into prepared pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips.

Bake for 30 minutes or until the top begins to look dry and starts to crack and the edges pull away slightly from the pan. DON'T WORRY -- they will not be dry. These are very moist brownies with a light cakey texture. And trust me, you will not taste the beans at all!
