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 ...

Agave Barbecue Beef & Biscuits

This was a huge hit at my house tonight! I used mostly foods from Trader Joe's (because they're so delicious) but you can use whatever you can find of course. 1 can Trader Joe's refrigerated buttermilk biscuits 1/2 cup Trader Joe's organic ketchup 1 pound ground beef 1/4 C. Trader Joe's agave syrup 1 tablespoon balsmic vinegar 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 C. shredded cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon minced onion 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1/4 C. Trader Joe's marinara sauce Spray a 12 cup muffin tin, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Tear dough to make 12 biscuits (about 3/4 of a biscuit) and shape into 5 inch circles. Press each into the bottom and up sides of muffin cups; set aside. In a skillet, brown the ground beef and drain. In a small bowl mix remaining ingredients and add to meat, mix well. Divide meat mixture among the twelve biscuit lined cups and then top with cheese. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
