Baked Fudge

                                                                    Fudge.

                                                                 Is soooo good.

                                                 Even better when it's good for you.
This recipe requires no candy thermometers, no fancy ingredients. Just black beans.
You read that right.
Baked Black Bean Fudge (say that ten times fast!)
1 15 oz can black beans, drained
2 spotted bananas
1/3 c. honey
1/4 c. cocoa
1-2 tsp maple extract (you can sub vanilla)
1/4 c. rolled oats
1/4-1/2 c. unsweetened coconut
1/4 c. brown sugar (if needed)
Blender-ize the black beans, bananas and honey until smooth. Pour into a medium-sized bowl, add maple extract, rolled oats and coconut. Give it a taste-test :) If there's too much bean flavor, add a Tbsp of brown sugar. If you're still not happy with the taste, keep adding small amounts of brown sugar, but don't go over 1/4 cup. Pour the mixture into a 9x9 baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes @ 350F. Wait about 20 minutes before cutting, 'cause the fudge needs time to set.
