Description
Fudgy, intensely chocolatey brownies made without flour or refined sugar, using black beans as a base for a moist, dense texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch baking pan.
- Combine black beans, eggs, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Stir in dark chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
For clean, even squares, chill the brownies for 15 minutes before slicing with a sharp knife. If the batter seems too thick, add a teaspoon of water and reblend until smooth.
