Vegan Double Chocolate Black Bean Brownies

Yields:  9 brownies

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Bake: 15 minutes | Total: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

1 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed well
½ cup quick oats
1/3 cup  maple syrup
¼ cup vegetable oil or coconut oil
1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Additional chocolate chips to place on top

 

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8” pan and set aside.

 

Add all ingredients (except for chocolate chips) in a food processor and blend well. Turn off food processor (remove blade), add ½ cup chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.

 

Pour ingredients into prepared pan. Place additional chocolate chips on top, and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. Allow the brownies to cool for a minimum of 10 minutes before cutting.

 

Tips:

*A blender can work in place of a food processor for this recipe; however, the texture is not quite as good.

*If the brownies still appear to be slightly undercooked after 18 minutes of baking, place them in the refrigerator for 2 hours to allow them to firm up.

*Store brownies in the refrigerator
