Units
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup brown sugar or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For an extra richness, try adding a handful of chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds to the batter.
- If you prefer a sweeter version, you can increase the brown sugar or maple syrup slightly.
- Ensure that the brownies are completely cooled before cutting to achieve neat squares.
