Fudgy Black Bean Brownies

 

2 cups cooked black beans (or 1 can, rinsed and drained)
3 eggs
1/3 cup coconut oil (or melted butter)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup honey (or 1 cup sugar)
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. In a food processor bowl or blender, combine the black beans, eggs, melted butter, cocoa powder, vanilla, and sugar. Pulse or blend until smooth (or as smooth as possible).
2. Grease an 8×8-inch glass baking dish. Pour the batter into the greased dish. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top and use a spatula to push them down into the batter just a little (but not too much; they will sink some while the brownies bake).
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes, until brownies are set in the middle. Watch the edges for excess browning if you’re not sure they’re done. (Mine seem to take a full 50 minutes, and are still chewy but not gooey.) Cool and then chill before serving! Store in fridge.
