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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Blend or process the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Step 4
Once the batter is smooth, fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) using a spatula.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
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).
Step 7
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.
Step 8
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
