Description
Flourless vegan brownies made with aduki beans, nut butter, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup and dark chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 1 15-oz can Eden Foods Aduki 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
- ½ cup chopped walnuts for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add the Aduki beans and maple syrup to a high speed blender and food processor and blend until you have a thick smooth paste.
- Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add in the nut butter and cacao powder and mix everything well with a spatula until no clumps are remaining. The batter should be thick and sticky.
- Next, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Add the batter to the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread the batter into a thin even layer. Top the batter with a generous amount of chopped walnuts (optional).
- 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!
