 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1       c            Brown tepary beans -- cooked
      1/2   c            Carob powder
      3/4   c            Mild honey
      1/4   c            Margarine -- melted
      1/2   c            Flour, all-purpose
      1/2   c            Walnuts, chopped
      1/2   c            Raisins (optional)
    2       ea           Eggs -- well beaten
    1 1/2   ts           Vanilla essence
      1/2   ts           Salt
 
   Butter an 8 inch square pan. Line with waxed paper and
   butter the paper. Whirl the tepary beans in a food
   processor until smooth. In a large bowl, mix the
   processed beans with rest of the ingredients. Spread
   in prepared baking dish. Bake at 325 degrees F for 30
   to 35 minutes. Cool, before removing from the pan.
   Peel off waxed paper and cut into squares. Makes 16 2
   inch squares.
   
   NOTE:  A rich, moist brownie, so terrific you'll
   probably want to make a double batch.  No one will
   guess their secret goodness is tepary beans. Carob
   powder is made from pods of the Carob tree, processed
   to resemble cocoa powder.  However Carob contains more
   nutrients and is caffeine free. It is sold in Health
   Food Stores.
