Gluten-Free, Black Bean Brownies
Servings: 8
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- one 15 1/2 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed very well
- 3 eggs, (large)
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, plus more for pan
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee mixed in 2 tablespoons of milk (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
- 1/2 cup mini organic chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with extra coconut oil and set aside.
Place the black beans in the bowl of a food processor; process until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, oil, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, coffee (optional), baking powder, and salt and process until smooth. Add the chocolate chips and pulse a few times until the chips are broken up a bit.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until the edges start to pull away from the sides and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan before slicing. They taste even better after sitting in the fridge overnight!
