Ingredients
1 tin white beans, drained & rinsed
½ tin pie apples
¼ cup (60ml) milk
1 cup (250ml) flour
10ml baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup (125ml) cocoa powder
3 eggs
1 cup (250ml) sugar
1 tsp (5ml) vanilla essence
½ cup (125ml) pecan nut halves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Lightly grease a medium-sized rectangular baking pan (18cm by 26cm).
Place the drained beans, pie apples and milk in a food processor or liquidiser and process until smooth.
In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder together.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs using an electric beater. Add the sugar in three batches, beating well in between to ensure the sugar dissolves.
Add 1/3 of the bean and apple mixture to the egg mixture, together with a 1/3 of the sifted dry ingredients. Fold in carefully. Repeat with another 1/3 of both the bean mixture and the dry ingredients, and again until all the wet and dry ingredients are incorporated, then add the vanilla.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, sprinkle the nuts over the top and bake for 40-45 minutes. Insert a skewer into the centre of the cake to make sure it is cooked. Remove from the oven and cool for five minutes in the pan. Cut into squares while still warm. Remove from tin and cool the brownies on a cooling rack.See More
