Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Black beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (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 for easy removal.
Step 2
Place the black beans, eggs, cocoa powder, oats, honey (or maple syrup), coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, and sea salt in a blender or food processor.
Step 3
Blend or process the mixture until it is completely smooth, ensuring there are no chunks of black beans remaining. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Step 4
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra burst of sweetness and texture.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting to ensure they hold their shape.
Step 8
Cut into 9 squares and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
