Butter Bean Brownies

Ingredients:

1 x 420 g tin of butter beans, drained and rinsed
4 large eggs
375 ml sunflower oil
5 ml vanilla essence
500 ml sugar (400g)
250 ml Sasko Cake Flour (120g)
125 ml cocoa powder
125 ml peanuts, chopped (keep some for decoration)

Chef’s hint: Use 1 cup of any cooked beans you have handy instead of the tinned beans.

Method

Preheat the over to 180°C. Line the bottom of a square 20cm x 20cm baking tin with baking paper.

Mash the butter beans, place the eggs, oil and vanilla together in a bowl. Whisk the ingredients together. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix to make a batter.

Pour the batter into the baking tin, sprinkle with a few extra chopped nuts. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until springy to touch. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes and cut into 12 squares.

Makes 12.
