Cook Time 15 minutes Total Time 15 minutes Yield 9 - 12 brownies INGREDIENTS1 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 salt1/3 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 extract1/2 tsp baking powder1/2 cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips (Not optional. Omit at your own risk)optional: more chips, for presentation INSTRUCTIONSBlack Bean Brownies Recipe: Preheat oven to 350 F. 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.) Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8x8 pan. Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top. Cook the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. If they still look a bit under-cooked, you can place them in the fridge overnight and they will magically firm up! Makes 9-12 brownies. The trick with these: serve them first, and then reveal the secret ingredient. In all the times I’ve served bean desserts, not one single person who didn’t know beforehand has ever guessed!
