Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse the beans and puree them with the egg whites in a food processor until VERY smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate bar, into the food processor and blend for another 30 seconds. Fold in the crushed chocolate bar. Bake in a square 8x8 pan for 45-50 mins.

NOTES/SUBSTITUTIONS:
*you can use 1/4 cup cocoa powder
**you can use sweetener of your choice (dry or wet) & to the amount of your liking

-although this recipe has pumpkin, it just acts as a wet ingredient. These brownies do not taste like pumpkin, FYI
