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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly and add them to a food processor or blender.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Blend until all ingredients are well incorporated and the batter is smooth. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.

Step 5

If using dark chocolate chips or chopped walnuts, fold them into the batter gently with a spatula.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into 12 squares.

Step 9

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.
