My grandma is a legend when it comes to jello.
Everyone remembers her for her jello. She didn't learn to cook until she was married. Everything she made was simple and wholesome. She was amazingly organized and clean. A modern lady and an old fashioned mom whose table was always full and always ready for family.

Black Bean Brownies

There are lots of these recipes floating around so if you find a good one tell me...

3 C black beans (2 15-oz cans, drained and rinsed
4-5 tbsp cocoa powder
1 C rolled oats
1/4 tsp salt (optional - I think they are okay without it)
2/3 - 1 cup pure maple syrup or honey (I can never decide which I like better)   -You can also use regular sugar for part of this if you like
1/2 C coconut oil (or other oil)
4 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1 C chocolate chips

Put the all ingredients, except chocolate chips, into a food processor or a good blender. Watch out with the blender because it is thick. Add the chips and stir. Pour into a 9x13 greased pan. Cook at 350 for about 18-20 min. These brownies are not super thick (fyi)

update...I noticed that chocolatecoveredkatie has a very similar recipe up. If are vegan you should check out her blog.
