Black Bean Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups black beans (1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed very well)
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened (10g (add a little extra if desired))
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp honey (Honey will work, but not for strict vegans. (75g))
• 2 drops liquid stevia
• 1/4 cup coconut raw
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup lilly's chocolate chips
• optional: more chips (for presentation)
• 1 protein powder

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. 2

   Combine all ingredients except chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely smooth.

3. 3

   Really blend well. (A blender can work if you absolutely must, but the texture—and even the taste—will be much better in a food processor.)

4. 4

   Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8×8 pan.

5. 5

   Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top.

6. 6

   Cook the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut.
