Black Bean Agave Whole Wheat Brownies Recipe

These black bean agave brownies turned out super moist, dense and delicious. These can be eaten for breakfast without the guilt.
This recipe can be adapted using white flour, all agave etc to suit your own taste. I sprinkled some white swirl chocolate chips on top.
I cooked my own black beans for this recipe however you can use canned but BE SURE it has no other ingredients, i.e. onion powder. I've made this mistake before. Chocolate DOES NOT go well with onions!

Recipe

4 squares unsweetened chocolate (4 oz.)
1 cup black beans
1/4 cup Smart Balance buttery spread
1 cup agave syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup almond meal

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13x9 pan with foil and spray with Pam. Melt chocolate & butter in bowl 1-2 minutes. Stir until melted. Meanwhile, puree black beans and eggs in a blender. After chocoloate has melted and cooled a bit, stir in the agave, sugar and vanilla. Blend well. Add in egg/bean mixture and blend. Stir in flour and almond meal until blended. Pour into pan and bake 25 minutes.

Chocolate Coconut Agave Cake Diabetic Friendly

Chocolate Coconut Agave Cake Recipe I made this layer cake yesterday for my diabetic husband's birthday. It was such a hit, I will definitely be making this again. The coconut oil really gives it a unique flavor plus it's good for you! It came out prettier than the picture but this was the best shot I could get since we already ate half of it. This cake is not low fat by any means, it's super moist, yet fluffy. You would never guess it's sugar free. If you've never tried agave syrup as a sugar substitute I urge you to give it a try. It doesn't spike your blood glucose like sugar and it's better than artificial sweeteners in my opinion. It does have carbs/calories but my husband can eat desserts made with agave without his blood sugar going high or low. 1 C. boiling water 1 C. unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 C. butter 1/2 C. Coconut Oil 2 C. agave syrup (I use Trader Joe's) 1/2 C. sour cream (I used lite) 4 eggs 2 3/4 C. all purpose flour 2 tsp

No Bake Agave Syrup Raspberry Cheesecake

No Bake Cheesecake Bites Made with Agave Syrup These are low in sugar and a low glycemic index food so it's a great dessert - at least for my type 1 diabetic husband! It's not quite sugar free since it's made with graham crackers but this delicious dessert is very low in sugar (warning - it does have carbs!). If you're not familiar with agave syrup you must give it a try. I've been baking with it ever since my husband discovered he could eat it without spiking his blood sugar levels. I came up with this fun and easy summer dessert today after finding some fresh raspberries at the farmers market for $2 a basket. Raspberry topping: 1 basket of fresh raspberries 1/4 cup raw agave syrup (I used Trader Joe's) 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/4 cup cold water Mix corn starch and water in small bowl & set aside. In a small saucepan bring raspberries & agave just to boiling, slowing stir in cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and
