Black Bean and Avocado Brownies

So this is very close to another recipe that I have already posted on my blog, however I am a sucker for trying new sweet treats, especially if it is CHOCOLATE !! I know that I say this over and over but it is really true, It is all about modification.  I would not ever have had the success that I have if it wasn't for recipes like these that allowed me to have those sweet treats that I love. There are certain things that I just was not willing to give up for the rest of my life and I don't have to.  My kids are trying these recipes out and realizing that they are liking them as well. 

Ingredients:

• 1 - 15 oz Can of Black Beans (rinsed)
• 3 - Eggs (1 whole, 2 egg whites)

• 2/3 cup chocolate cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup organic sugar (alternate: honey or pure maple syrup)
