Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups cooked black beans
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cups coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons stevia powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly and add them to a food processor or blender.
Blend the black beans until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, unsweetened cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, stevia powder, pure vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to the processor.
Blend until all ingredients are well incorporated and the batter is smooth. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
If using dark chocolate chips or chopped walnuts, fold them into the batter gently with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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 in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy! These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
