Flourless Brownies

We love the chocolate-chocolate desserts at our house.

I mean LOVE them.

The more chocolate-y the better.

So I found this recipe for flourless brownies. They are rich and delicious. This was our Father's Day treat.

It's also a great recipe to give to people who would like to make a GF dessert because it doesn't call for any "weird" flours or ingredients.

I topped our brownies with hot fudge icecream topping, Cool Whip, Strawberries and Raspberries. Good thing I run...

Enjoy! It's fabulous!

Flourless Brownies

1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained

3 egg whites

1 egg

2 T. canola oil

1 1/2 t. vanilla

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 t. baking powder

Dash of salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional

In the microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth.

Place, beans, egg whites, egg, oil and vanilla in a food processor. Cover and process until smooth.

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, baking powder and salt; add to bean mixture. Cover and process until combined. Gradually add the chocolate. Process until blended.

Pour batter into a 9 inch square pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with walnuts if desired. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs. (Do not overbake!) Cool completely on a wire rack.

I found these taste better if refrigerated for a few hours. Enjoy!
