Equipment

blender I use and LOVE my Blendtec Designer Series Blender! We use it daily!
Rubber Scrapers These Cuisinart rubber scraper spatulas are fantastic for fillings, batters, and so much more!
8 x 8 Pan This 8 x 8" pan is great for brownies and bars!

Ingredients

1 (15 oz. can) black beans drained and well rinsed
3 large eggs
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup coconut oil I use flavorless
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup no sugar added chocolate chips divided

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray an 8x8" pan with non-stick baking spray (I use coconut oil spray.) Set prepared pan aside.
To your blender, add the rinsed beans, eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. Blend well for 45-60 seconds or until ingredients are a very smooth consistency.
Set aside 2-3 tablespoons of the mini-chocolate chips. Add the remaining chocolate chips to the batter and fold in. Pour batter into prepared pan, and top with the remaining chocolate chips.
Bake for 30-34 minutes - I discovered that 32 minutes is the sweet spot. Before removing from the oven test brownies for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean and crumb-free, the brownies are done.
Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature before slicing. Enjoy

Notes

Storage: Store the brownies covered or in an airtight container and refrigerate. They will keep for 5-7 days refrigerated, or 3-4 days at room temperature.

Freezing: Wrap individual brownies in press-and-seal wrap, and store in an airtight container. Defrost in the microwave or let thaw at room temperature.
