Description

Ingredients

• 1 - 15 oz can of black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 egg
• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 of a large extra ripe avocado
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (important to use a VERY good quality powder!)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips of choice, plus 2 tablespoons for topping

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 8x8 inch baking pan.
• Place all ingredients besides chocolate chips into blender or food processor. Process or puree until ingredients form a smooth batter. If the batter is WAY too thick and wont process then add in a teaspoon or two of water. This batter needs to be very thick in order to produce fudgy brownies. Add in 1/3 cup chocolate chips and fold into batter.
• Pour batter into prepared pan, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of remaining chocolate chips. You can also fold in nuts or swirl in peanut butter. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out somewhat clean and top of the brownies begin to crack.
• Cool pan completely on wire rack then cut into 12 delicious squares.
