Healthy(er) Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

I know putting beans in your brownies sounds gross, but I guarantee they taste good. I fed them to my friends last weekend without telling anyone what was in them (sorry 😉 ) and they disappeared quickly. Go ahead and give them a try! I think the beans make them fudgy and all the more delicious. And if you have skeptical friends, just don’t share the secret ingredient 🙂 Bonus: these are gluten-free and can easily be made vegan. A yummy brownie anyone can eat!

1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
2 eggs (feel free to use flax eggs to make these vegan)
3 tbsp vegetable oil
3/4 cup dark chocolate cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup agave (maple syrup or honey also work well)
1/4 cup + 2 tsp granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup peanut butter (I used PB2, but any smooth or creamy kind will work)
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips (or more – I’ve never heard of using too many 🙂 )
