Dark Fudge Brownies

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Out of all my "sneaks," this is one of my favorites and has drawn rave
reviews from my neighbors and family. Imagine their surprise when they
learn the secret ingredient. One of these brownies has the same amount of
fiber as a slice of whole wheat bread.
  THE SNEAK:
A can of black beans is pureed and incorporated into this delicious treat.
Espresso powder intensifies the chocolate experience. Note: You can find
expresso powder in most grocery stores, usually sold with instant coffee.

Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees. spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with nonstick
vegetable spray. Place the beans in a colander and rinse thoroughly under
running water to remove "slime"; set aside and drain. Place the chocolate
and light butter in a small microwavable bowl. Microwave for 60 to 90
seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. In a food processor or
blender add the drained beans and 2 egg whites. blend or process until
smooth. In a large bowl combine the bean puree, sugar, flour, espresso
powder, and the reamining egg whites. With an electric mixer, beat until
well combined. Mix in the melted chocolate. Pour the brownie mixture into a
prepared pan. Sprinkle the walnuts on top of the brownie batter. Bake for
30 to 35 minutes until the brownied pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars---rows of six by five.
