Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking)
- 0.33 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 3 tbsp Coconut oil or melted butter
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 2 large Eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Place the black beans, cocoa powder, oats, honey or maple syrup, coconut oil or melted butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt into a blender or food processor.
Blend or process until the mixture is completely smooth and no chunks of black beans or oats remain. Scrape down the sides of the container as needed.
Add the eggs to the mixture and blend again briefly until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter, pressing them slightly into the surface if needed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not raw batter).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares or rectangles.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
