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
  

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.
