These flourless brownies are delicious and can be quickly made for any gluten-free family members. You can sub oil back in for the avocado, but with the avocado, you'll be getting a pretty darn healthy treat!

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed well and drained
3 eggs
½ avocado, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
