Butter Bean and Almond Chocolate Brownies
Ingredients
2 cups squished butter beans (I used 2 tins, rinse them and squished them with a fork)
100 gms of 85% lindt dark chocolate (melt)
1 cup of sugar substitute (I use stevia)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon vanilla
125gm unsalted butter (or oil or substitute...I find normal butter too salty)
5 eggs
1 teaspoon of mixed spice
100gms of slivered almonds (this can be omitted or changed to add raisins etc)
Method
Cream the sugar and butter
Add eggs one and a time
Add squished drained butter beans
Add the rest of the ingredients
Line a rectangular tin with paper
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean)
Serves 15...depends on your baking tin
This recipe is low in carbs and high in fibre and also gluten free so it doesn’t raise blood sugar (well not mine). I put mine in the freezer and then sliced it when it was partially frozen. I then wrapped them individually for easy defrosting....
I know butter beans (or some call them lima beans) is an odd ingredient but it works!
