Must have been on another forum - sorry.
Anita Bean's Black Bean Brownies - from Vegetarian Meals in 30 Minutes
400g tin black beans drained and well rinsed
2 tbsp cocoa
50g ground almonds
65g honey (or maple syrup)
2 tbsp brown sugar
2tbsn light olive oil
1tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 egg (or sub with flax egg)
100g dark choc chips
Preheat oven to 180C/fan 160C/ gas 4
Line a 20 x 20cm tin.
Put everything apart from choc chips in a food processor and process until smooth (I do the beans with a hand blender first). Stir in the chips reserving a few for decoration then pour into the tin. Smooth the surface, scatter over remaining chips.
Bake 18-20 minutes until risen and slightly firm. Leave to cool in the tin - they will firm up as they cool.
Anita cuts them in to 12 and says they are 161 cals; 4g protein; 9g fat (2g saturates); 16g carbs (12g total sugars) and 2g fibre each.
I was really surprised that my husband and MiL liked them. They freeze well and are also good warmed slightly and served with ice cream

I cocked up my timings yesterday regarding sourdough so have re-fed my starter this morning and - unusually for me - I have some "discard" to use up. I could throw it away I suppose but I'd rather not. Any ideas for what I could use it for? It's essentially 50g of rye flour and 50g of water, so I could just make a cake and bung it in (have I just answered my own question?!) but maybe there are things it would be specifically good for..
Thank you for the black bean brownies recipe, that is definitely something I'll try - though I may substitute borlotti beans as they're a bit softer (and I have some).

The only reason I process the black beans before doing it all in together is otherwise I find you get the odd piece of skin - though MiL declared them the best brownies I'd baked and didn't guess what they were made of the first time I baked them when I just followed the recipe. The book has some very tasty healthy bakes - I think it was the blackberry frangipane I posted on here that is really nice too.
If you make them Linds I'd be interested to hear how they compare to CCK's.

I haven't made either. I don't have a blender (apart from a stick) so I'll take a look at both and see which might be the easiest to do in a Kenwood.
