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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Blend the mixture until completely smooth. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure even blending.
Step 4
Once fully blended, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, if using, with a spatula.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with the spatula.
Step 6
Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for decoration (optional).
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
