Preparation

Step 1

IPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Add the beans, coconut milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla and brown rice flour to the bowl of a food processor. If you like sweeter brownies, add in a couple of extra tablespoons of maple syrup.

Blend all the ingredients until smooth. This may take a few minutes.

Pour the batter into a prepared 8 x 8-inch pan (square or round), and spread evenly. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is slightly cracked and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow the brownies to cool on a wire rack, then cut into squares and serve.
