Black Bean Brownies
Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 2 cups black beans canned, drained and rinsed
- 3 egg large
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 100 grams dark chocolate (at least 70%) chopped and divided
- ¼ cup sliced almonds optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius and line an 8 x 8-inch baking tin with baking paper.
- Add the canned black beans and eggs to a food processor. Turn it on and stream in the oil. Let the food processor blend for about 60 seconds, or until the black beans are very smooth.
- Add the vanilla, salt, cocoa, sugar, honey and baking powder to the black bean batter. Blend until it is all combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed.
- Add half of the dark chocolate to the brownie batter and pulse 4 or 5 times until it is mixed in.
- Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared tin and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate and almonds evenly over the top of the brownies (optional).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownie cool completely before transferring to the fridge for at least 4 hours before cutting into squares.
