Tonight I am attending a doTERRA Essential Oils meeting at a friend's house. We were asked to bring a dessert using doTERRA Essential Oils. I had these brownies at a recent class I attended and found it on the doterra.com website. I added a couple more drops of peppermint because I felt it needed a little more. If it's too strong for you, cut it back to 4 drops of peppermint oil. When I first saw the recipe, I thought, "Black beans in brownies? Ick. That sounds disgusting!" I was so WRONG! Plus, it's gluten free! I wish you could all come tonight so you could try it.
Oh! I know! I am having a class at my house June 11th at 1:00. You are invited! If you tell me you are coming, I will make these brownies to serve! One little taste and you'll be hooked!

degrees. Place all ingredients, except
for chocolate chips, in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Pour batter into large bowl and stir in ½ cup chocolate chips. Pour into greased 8×8-inch pan and top with
