Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Black beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
- 2 Large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.33 cup Rolled oats (certified gluten-free)
- 0.75 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Place the black beans, eggs, coconut oil, cocoa powder, oats, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt into a blender or food processor.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. The batter will be thick.
Optional: Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula for a chocolatey boost.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few sticky crumbs are fine).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares or your desired portion sizes.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
