Lakeside Homestead : April fools cookie brownies

Ingredients-

2 eggs, farm fresh organic from my chicas

2 cups cold black bean, I started with organic dry so I had to soak them overnight, then boil them for a couple hours, and then once they were rinsed and cooled I stored them in the fridge.

3/4 cup cocoa powder

1/2 cup applesauce

1/4 cup peanut butter

1/4 dark chocolate chunks, melted

3 tbsp coconut oil, melted

3 tbsp raspberry preserve

1 1/2 tbsp baking powder

1/4 tsp sea salt

Extra-

Chocolate chunk per cookie

Sprinkles for batter and topping :)

350 degrees 9-12 minutes 3 dozen...all estimates because my oven seems to be a bit off

Happy April Fools

I thought of zero dinner options when I saw black beans in my frig; my first thought was desert:) black beans in cookies sounds like a prank but they are delicious and nutritious. I'm way to easily distracted too be welding a camera while trying to cook, the multi tasking is maxed out by the fact that I am cleaning the dished, by hand, while I'm going...oh how I love to dream of the machine known as the dishwasher...sigh...back to cookies, see the distraction haha.

Preheat the oven to 350

add the eggs to a bowl

thicken them with a mixer for a couple minutes

Mix in the beans with mixer on, you want them creamy in the end

Pour in apple sauce

Fold in peanut butter

Add oil and chocolate together in a microwave safe bowl and melt, usually around 30 seconds

Add melted mix

Fold in cocoa powder

I used a fruit preserve but I think that would be optional as I didn't use much or taste it really

Last the baking powder and salt

Photo fun time

I used a spoon and my finger to dollop these babies out and topped each one with a chocolate chunk, using dark chocolate because it's actually got health benefits instead of milk chocolate which is just calories and sugar
