Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups black beans (1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed very well) (250g after draining)

• 2 tbsp cocoa powder (10g)

• 1/2 cup quick oats (40g) (See nutrition link below for substitutions)

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave (75g)

• pinch uncut stevia OR 2 tbsp sugar (or omit and increase maple syrup to 1/2 cup)

• 1/4 cup coconut or vegetable oil

• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. Combine all ingredients except chips in a food processor or blender, and blend until completely smooth. Really blend well.

3. Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8×8 pan. Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top. 

4. Cook the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut.

5. If they still look a bit undercooked, you can place them in the fridge overnight and they will magically firm up!

6. Makes 9-12 brownies.
