Name: Black Bean Brownies
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 35 min
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 ((40g) (See nutrition link for substitution notes)); 2 tsp pure vanilla extract; 1/2 tsp baking powder; 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips ((Not optional. Omit at your own risk)); optional: more chips, (for presentation)

1.

Preheat oven to 350 F.

2.

Combine all ingredients except chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely smooth. Really blend well. (A blender can work if you absolutely must, but the texture—and even the taste—will be much better in a food processor.)

3.

Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8x8 pan.

4.

Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top.

5.

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

6.

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