Time 50m

Yield 12 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 13

Butter, for greasing pan
3/4 cup cooked black beans
1/2 cup vegetable oil, or olive oil
2 eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon instant coffee or espresso
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, divided
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 9-inch square baking pan.
  • In a blender, puree the beans with the oil. Add the eggs, cocoa, sugar, coffee, and vanilla. Melt half the chocolate chips and add to the blender. Blend on medium-high until smooth. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the blender and pulse until just incorporated. Stir in the remaining chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake until the surface looks somewhat matte around the edges and still a bit shiny in the middle, about 20 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting and removing from the pan. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your brownies will be.
  • Mash the bananas thoroughly: Make sure there are no lumps of banana in the batter, as this will affect the texture of the brownies.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor makes quick work of mashing the bananas and combining all of the ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the brownies will make them dry and crumbly, so be sure to check them before they're done.

Conclusion:

These black bean brownies are a delicious and healthy way to satisfy your sweet tooth. They're made with wholesome ingredients like black beans, bananas, and oats, and they're naturally gluten-free and vegan. So next time you're craving a brownie, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
