Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
In a blender or food processor, combine the black beans, dry cocoa powder, oats, and salt. Pulse until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
Add the honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl. Blend again until the mixture is smooth and well combined. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor to ensure everything is well mixed.
Sprinkle the baking powder over the mixture and blend until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix at this stage.
Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl (if your blender or food processor is too small to accommodate the candies). Gently fold in the chocolate candies until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Once the brownies are fully cooled, cut them into squares and enjoy. These fudgy black bean brownies are a delicious treat with a hidden twist of added nutrition!
Tips:
- For a smoother batter, blend the black beans until completely pureed before mixing with other ingredients.
- If you prefer less sweetness, you can reduce the amount of honey or replace it with a natural sweetener like maple syrup.
- Ensure the coconut oil is melted but not hot to mix easily with other ingredients without cooking them.
- For added texture, consider mixing nuts or dried fruits into the batter along with the chocolate candies.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting to achieve clean, even squares.
These fudgy black bean brownies are not only delicious but also packed with wholesome ingredients. Their rich flavor and satisfying texture make them a perfect treat for any occasion. Enjoy them fresh from the oven or store them for a quick, healthy snack throughout the week.
