Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed canned black beans
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup old-fashioned oats
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons (melted) coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Add the black beans, cocoa powder, oats, maple syrup, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to a food processor.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the processor as needed to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Remove the blade and fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using the spatula.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the top appears set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. These brownies taste even better chilled!
