Fudgy Black Bean Brownies

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ½ cup quick oats
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ cup coconut or vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (plus an additional handful of chocolate chips)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a food processor. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in ½ cup chocolate chips and mix with a spoon so they are equally distributed.
  4. Grease an 8x8 pan and pour the brownie mixture in. Take a spatula to smooth out the top.
  5. Bake the brownies for 16-18 minutes.
  6. Once out of the oven, let cool, then sprinkle the handful of chocolate chips on top. Use a spoon or spatula to gently push them into the top of the brownies.
  7. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before cutting into brownie squares.
