I saw a similar recipe to these in The Toddler Cookbook, by Jennifer Garden. Since I had the main ingredients on hand, I thought I would go ahead and give it a try. Turns out my son really enjoyed
these!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Can of Black Beans, drained (15oz Cans, used 1/2)
- 1/4 Cup of Sugar
- 1/4 Cup of Brown Sugar
- 2 Tbsp of Butter
- 1/4 Tsp of Baking Powder
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tsp of Vanilla
- Crushed Graham Crackers or Powdered Sugar to dust on the truffles
Directions:
Mix together the beans, sugar, brown sugar, butter, baking powder, and vanilla. Use a mixer or food processor to mix these ingredients, then mix in the egg. Pour each one into a greased pan, the book calls for an 8×8 pan. I actually used a cupcake pan.
Bake it in the oven for 30 minutes. Let it cool for about 15 minutes. Then, I sprinkled crushed graham cracker on the top. You can cut the truffles out almost like brownies, or you can use a spoon or ice cream scooper to make balls out of them.
I did not have powdered sugar on hand; however, that’s a good item to sprinkle on them.
I was really skeptical of these; however, my son was not. He was ready for more!

Hi there! I am over to see you from Blog Hop. Thank you for following OKCBlogGirl. Guess what? My two sons have the last name Still! I was married for twelve years to a Still. This is not a common name at all. We are in the OKC Metro area. Do you have family here?
Pink Diva- okay, now that is funny! I'm in Broken Arrow/Tulsa area. Still is not a common name at all!! Since I married in I'm not totally sure if there is family in the OKC area. Are they related to any of the Still's in Arkansas? That's where many of them are from.
