Black Bean Brownies

The first time I made black bean brownies was a disaster. They smelled divine but as as soon as they came out of the oven I knew it wasn't going to be good. It looked like dried asphalt. (gross) They ended up being dried out bean flavored bars. Yuck! It has taken me a few years to make some that work for my tastes. These are chocolaty, fudgy and only slightly sweet. Just the way I like em! :)
1 can black beans rinsed and drained, 3 eggs, 3 Tablespoons canola oil, 1/2 cup cocoa, 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3/4 cup coconut sugar, 1/2 cup pecans, Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into 8x8 pan bake for 30 min at 350,until knife comes out clean.
