Guilt-Free Brownie Batter Dip

Ingredients

1 can unseasoned black beans, drained and rinsed

2/3 cup brown sugar

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/4 cup nut butter

2-3 tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder

1-2 tbs. skim milk (add 1 tbs. at a time, I only needed 1)

pinch of salt

Optional: 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Suggested Dippers: strawberries, bananas, apples, graham crackers, or animal crackers

Preparation

Combine all ingredients (except chips) in a food processor or blender. Process until the mixture is smooth and silky. Stir in the chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes: If you want to make this sugar-free, you can swap out the sugar for Splenda or Stevia (granular or drops). You can also sweeten this to taste using sugar-free syrup. To make this a vegan dip, just use soy or almond milk!
