Basic ingredients: 1 box of brownie mix, family size for 13x9" pan 1 - 15 oz. can of black beans Water Possible additions: 1/2 cup sliced zucchini or summer squash or carrots; blueberries; cherry preser ves; raspberr y jelly; 1/2 cup chopped nuts; 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips; whatever sounds good to you. Follow the directions on the brownie box for pre-heating the oven, usually 350 degrees. 1. Open the can of black beans and

pour them into a colander - but keep the can! Rinse the beans well, then put them back in the can. Add water just to the top of the beans. 2. Put the beans/water in a blender with the zucchini or squash or carrots. Puree until smooth. 3. Pour the brownie mix in a large bowl. Pour the black bean mix in the bowl. Stir about 50 times. (You could also add nuts or mini-chips at this point.) You DO NOT need the eggs, oil, or other ingredients the brownie mix says to add. 4. Pour batter into a 13x9" pan, following directions on the brownie mix box. Or use mini-cupcake pans (enough for 3-4 dozen). Spray with a non-stick baking spray and spoon batter into cupcake wells, filling them about 2/3 to 3/4 full. 5. If you used mini-cupcake pans, you can push a fresh blueberry into the middle of each brownie or drop 1/4 tsp. of preserves or jelly on top of each brownie. 6. Bake according to brownie package, usually 25-30 minutes until done. 7. Cool them and enjoy. Don't tell anyone what is in them until they have eaten one, then ask them what vegetables they think are in them. Butterscotch Brownies By Mary Cox Columbiana, Ohio
