Ingredients
- 1 can (about 240 g) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 eggs
- 50 g oats (can be substituted with almond flour for a gluten-free version)
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 50 g dark chocolate (70% or higher), melted
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or butter, melted
- A pinch of salt
- 50 g chopped dark chocolate or walnuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C and line a small square baking dish (about 20×20 cm) with parchment paper.
- Blend the ingredients – In a blender or food processor, combine black beans, eggs, oats, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, honey, melted chocolate, coconut oil, and salt. Blend until smooth and even.
- Add toppings – If desired, fold in chopped chocolate or walnuts for extra texture and flavor.
- Bake the brownies – Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve – Allow the brownies to cool completely in the
pan before cutting them into squares. This makes them easier to slice and enhances their flavor.
Tips
- Serving suggestion – Sprinkle with cocoa powder and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or coconut whipped cream.
- Storage – Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
These brownies are perfect for those looking for a healthier dessert while still enjoying an intense chocolate flavor. Enjoy! 🍫
