Ingredients

  • 1 15oz Can Low-Sodium Black Beans
  • 3/4 cup Coconut Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground strong coffee or espresso beans (I used Starbucks Verona)
  • 2 Large Organic Eggs
  • 1/2 tsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tsp Basalmic Vinegar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 tbsp Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 1 1/4 cups Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Pinch Sea Salt (about 1/2 tsp)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

  2. Grease 8x8 or 9x9 glass baking pan with butter and dust with flour or use Non-stick baking spray with flour (such as PAM baking spray).

  3. Blend black beans, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, ground coffee, eggs, oil, vinegar, vanilla, and milk in a large food processor. Only mix until combined. Scrape the sides a few times to ensure fully mixed. You don’t want any black bean chunks. Do not over process.

  4. Pour brownie batter into a large mixing bowl and stir in 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips.

  5. Pour into greased pan. Top with Dark Chocolate Chips.

  6. Bake 20-25 minutes on middle oven rack. Remove when tooth pick inserted in middle comes out clean. Do not over bake. Let rest at least 10 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with Sea Salt while the brownies are still warm. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
