Units
Scale
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Grease or spray an 8-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a food processor, combine the black beans, eggs, egg whites, melted butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sugar. Process until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
These brownies have a unique texture that improves as they cool, so it’s best to let them rest before serving. They are a great way to sneak beans into a dessert without anyone noticing. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
