The first I made Honeyville's Fudge Brownie Mix and added drops of Honeyville's Chocolate Chip Cookie dough into the pan and baked it...and then after it had cooled topped it with a Chocolate Ganache. Since I made them with beans I figured I could splurge on the top!
So let's talk more about making the bean puree. You need to cook the beans, drain/rinse them, and blend them until they are the consistency of a thick milk shake (adding water as necessary). For the brownies I used Honeyville's Quick Cooking Black Beans and with the cookies I used Small White Beans. Color coordinating with the dough helps to better disguise the beans. When replacing the oil with bean puree it is a 1 to 1 ratio. No converting necessary!
Everyone who tried these desserts loved them. I mean who doesn't like dessert? I am pretty sure I justified eating the cookies for breakfast the next morning because they were "healthy" with the beans. I got comments like "This is really good!", "Seriously there are beans in here?" and even "Wow these brownies are DECADENT!" So it's safe to say 2 thumbs up on this tip!
What is your best bean tip?
Happy Eating!

Are you on Pinterest? I would love to share this recipe with my pinning friends.
I've never tried beans in a dessert before this and THESE WERE DELICIOUS! 3 cheers for beans in dessert--hip, hip, hooray!
Yes, we are on Pinterest. We have slowly started added a few things. I found the best way to find us is by searching under people. Our name is "Honeyville." Hopefully we will be able to add more over time. Thank you for asking! I just put this post up there for you

great idea! We will have to try this recipe out! THANK YOU!
Still new to your blog and the Honeyville Farms products but I must admit, I do like the idea of replacing oil by beans. Easier on my budget.
Now, I must know, do you think that you can replace all oils with beans or just certain kind?
Keep the good work!
I've had cookies that were made with pureed white beans instead of butter and brownies with black beans instead of vegetable oil. I think it'd really depend on the cooking application. You obviously couldn't use beans for frying. For most baked goods I wouldn't think there'd be a problem substituting out.
