Here is an adventurous dessert.  It comes from our own Salli.  Let her know what you think. My family really enjoyed it.

Midnight Brownies

1     15 oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed
3/4  cup of agave nectar (available in health food sections)
1/2  cup of self-rising flour
3/4  cup egg whites
1/4  cup of unsweetened cocoa
1     tsp of vanilla
1     tsp of baking powder
6     tbsp of mini semisweet chocolate chips + 2 more tbsp for glaze

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a food processor or blender, mix all brownie ingredients (except chips) together.  Blend until smooth, scrap sides down and blend again for a few seconds.  It should be smooth, do not over blend.   Add the chips and stir.  Spread into an 8 x 8 baking dish lightly coated with non-stick cooking spray.  Bake 20 - 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.  Cool for about an hour.

Spray a microwave safe bowl for 2 seconds with non-stick cooking spray, add the 2 tbsp of chips.  Microwave for 15 seconds, remove and stir.  Repeat until melted. Using a spoon, swirl the melted chocolate over the cooled brownies.  Allow glaze to set up in refrigerator for about 20 minutes (If you can wait that long...we dug in warm).  Serve and enjoy!
