Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

What would Valentine's Day be without a little chocolate?  In Fit Momma form I looked for a healthier alternative & remembered a Black Bean Brownie recipe we used a few months back.  I must give credit where credit is due...my number one kitchen helper, Hunter, came up with the the idea of putting peanut butter in today's brownies.  Now we have Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies!

1 can black beans (drained and rinsed well)

1/2 cup 100% cocoa

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/2 cup raw honey

1 tsp. vanilla

3 eggs

1/2 cup spelt flour (you could use almond or quinoa flour as well)

1/4 tsp. sea salt

2 Tbls. all-natural peanut butter

* Don't forget the secret ingredient! LOVE! *

Directions: 

1. Rinse the beans WELL! 

2. Put all ingredients into the blender & blend for approx. 2 mins.  

3. Pour batter into a greased 8x8 pan.

4. Divide peanut butter into several drops around the top of the batter.

5. Use a spatula or knife to swirl the peanut butter through the batter.

6. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
