Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp instant espresso powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8x8 pan with parchment.
  2. Blend the black beans, cocoa, sugar, coconut oil, espresso powder, and vanilla until completely smooth.
  3. Stir in most of the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the pan.
  4. Scatter the remaining chips on top and smooth the surface.
  5. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes until the edges are set and the center is just firm.
  6. Cool completely, then chill 30 minutes so they slice neatly.

Notes

Blend the beans very smooth so there's no grainy texture.
