Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Black beans (cooked, rinsed, and drained)
- 0.25 cup Rolled oats (certified gluten-free)
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.33 cup Maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Chocolate chips (dairy-free)
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Add the black beans, rolled oats, cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend or process the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Once the batter is smooth, fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) using a spatula.
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 top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
