brownie - chocolate black bean

By tinathorn

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked black beans
• 1 cup coconut milk (or other alternative milk)
• 1/3 cup maple syrup (These brownies are not super sweet – if you’d like yours to be more sugary, add in a few more tablespoons)
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup brown rice flour
• 1 tsp vanilla

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.
