Black Bean Brownies - No Flour Required!
Incredibly chocolatey. Couldn't believe they had beans in them. I doubled this recipe, didn't feel they would be thick enough, glad I did. Kids loved these so much they snuck seconds 😉

**Make sure you add the chocolate chips, it's not an optional item.

1 1/2 cups black beans (1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed very well) (250g after draining)
2 tbsp cocoa powder (10g)
1/2 cup quick oats (40g)
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave (75g)
pinch uncut stevia OR 2 tbsp sugar (or omit and increase maple syrup to 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup coconut orvegetable oil (40g)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips (Not optional. Omit at your own risk)
▢optional: more chips, for presentation

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients except chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely smooth. Really blend well. (A blender can work if you absolutely must, but the texture—and even the taste—will be much better in a food processor. I use this food processor.) Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8×8 pan. Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top. Cook the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. If they still look a bit undercooked, you can place them in the fridge overnight and they will magically firm up! Makes 9-12 brownies.

Look at all those bubbles!!

Fermented Pine Soda
This tastes almost like a lemon/lime soda. We had ours bottled for a few months to get these bubbles. Fun to try with the family and who knows could be your next favorite soda.

** Use your discretion when foraging any plants! Only harvest from plants you can clearly identify. All trees in the pine family are edible and safe, but there are pine lookalikes (like yew and norfolk pine) that are toxic when consumed. **

WILD FERMENTED PINE SODA RECIPE
1 Take a hefty handful of pine needles, cut them into small pieces, and place them in a medium bowl.
2 Cover with 1 quart of non-chlorinated water and 3-4 Tbsp of sweetener of your choice. Use less sugar if you don’t want much sweetness, or add more if you like it sweet. Remember, this is all about your palate! (I like to use the sweetener that I can source from my local landscape, specifically maple syrup or honey, but any sugar will do).
3 Cover with a cloth, place in a warm environment in the 70-80 F range, and stir twice daily for 60 seconds until bubbly (this generally takes 3 – 7 days).
4 Strain the liquid into another bowl. Add sugar and acidity (like lime or lemon juice) to taste.
5 Pour into a plastic bottle or glass flip-top bottle (other bottles will work, but I recommend these two carbonation vessels the most).
6 Let the liquid sit for 4 – 48 hours at room temperature until ideal carbonation is reached (this will often be faster in the hotter months, and slower in the colder months). You should be able to feel the pressure in your plastic bottle, see the bubbles at the surface, and/or hear some CO2 when you crack the lid to check on carbonation.
7 Refrigerate, enjoy over ice, or in a cocktail with gin!
