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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- 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.
- Next, stir in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
- 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!
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until brownies are slightly firm to the touch and the edges pull away from the pan.
- Allow the brownies to cool for 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
- Store any leftover brownies in the refrigerator for one week and freeze for long-term storage!
