Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Black beans (cooked, drained, and rinsed)
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Rolled oats (certified gluten-free)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed)
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a food processor or blender, combine the black beans, eggs, melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, gluten-free oats, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt.
Blend the mixture until completely smooth. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure even blending.
Once fully blended, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, if using, with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with the spatula.
Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for decoration (optional).
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
