Description

Flourless vegan brownies made with black beans, nut butter, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup and dark chocolate. The best black bean brownies!


Ingredients

  • 1 15-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ⅔ cup almond, peanut, or sunflower seed butter
  • 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ cup vegan dark chocolate chips + more for topping 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. 
  2. Add the beans, nut butter, cacao powder, and maple syrup to a food processor or high speed blender and process to blend, scraping down the sides as needed. Continue to process until smooth. 
  3. Next, stir in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
  4. Add the batter to the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread the batter into a thin even layer. Top with more chocolate chips for aesthetics, if you want! 
  5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until brownies are slightly firm to the touch and the edges pull away from the pan. 
  6. Allow the brownies to cool for 15 minutes before slicing into squares. 
  7. Store any leftover brownies in the refrigerator for one week and freeze for long-term storage!
