-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Brown tepary beans -- cooked
1/2 c Carob powder
3/4 c Mild honey
1/4 c Margarine -- melted
1/2 c Flour, all-purpose
1/2 c Walnuts, chopped
1/2 c Raisins (optional)
2 ea Eggs -- well beaten
1 1/2 ts Vanilla essence
1/2 ts Salt
Butter an 8 inch square pan. Line with waxed paper and
butter the paper. Whirl the tepary beans in a food
processor until smooth. In a large bowl, mix the
processed beans with rest of the ingredients. Spread
in prepared baking dish. Bake at 325 degrees F for 30
to 35 minutes. Cool, before removing from the pan.
Peel off waxed paper and cut into squares. Makes 16 2
inch squares.
NOTE: A rich, moist brownie, so terrific you'll
probably want to make a double batch. No one will
guess their secret goodness is tepary beans. Carob
powder is made from pods of the Carob tree, processed
to resemble cocoa powder. However Carob contains more
nutrients and is caffeine free. It is sold in Health
Food Stores.
