Bananas + beans = breakfast brownies… right? I haven’t lost my mind, so trust me and try this for yourself!

Whip up a batch of these on the weekend and just don’t tell anyone that the secret ingredient is black beans and I bet no one will be able to tell!

Ingredients

- nonstick cooking spray
- 6 large eggs
- 2 large ripe bananas
- ¾ cup canned black beans, drained + rinsed
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract, divided use
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup 2% cottage cheese
- 10 drops liquid stevia

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350° F. Lightly coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with spray; set aside.

2. Add eggs, bananas, beans, cocoa powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and baking powder to a blender. Cover and blend until smooth.

3. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips. Set aside.

4. Rinse the blender. Add cottage cheese, remaining 1 tsp vanilla extract, and liquid stevia. Cover and blend until very smooth.

5. Slowly pour the cottage cheese mixture onto the chocolate mixture in rows until most of the top is covered. Use a butter knife to marble the brownies by dragging the knife in straight lines from the left to right and then top to bottom.

6. Bake for 25 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

7. Cut into 8 pieces; serve immediately or store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
