Cacao Nib Blondies (Delicious and Nutritious!)

Ingredients:

⅓ sesame oil
1 can navy beans
stevia powder, amount varies depending upon what type/brand you use and your preferred taste.  I used approximately ½-1 tsp Kal stevia powder.
2 eggs
1 cup cooked quinoa
¼ cup ground almonds and 1/2 cup maca powder (or 1/2 cup ground almonds)
2-3 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp baking powder
⅓ cup cacao nibs
½ cup nuts of choice (I used walnuts)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and oil an 8x8 inch pan.

Put all ingredients, besides cacao nibs and nuts, in a food processor and process until smooth.








Stop processor, then add cacao nibs and mix in with a spoon.  Pour into pan and smooth out with a spatula.  Evenly distribute nuts (I broke the walnuts into smaller pieces first) evenly across top and press into batter.  




Bake for 25-30 minutes.  Allow to cool, cut to desired size and enjoy!
