Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 can organic canned black beans or 2 cups cooked soaked dry beans
- ¾ cup raw cane sugar coconut sugar OR 1/3 cup raw honey
- 2 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil plus extra for greasing the pan
- 1/3 cup raw cacao powder or cocoa powder
- 3 pasture-raised eggs
- 1-½ tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- walnuts previously soaked and dried, or other brownie toppings (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Rinse beans very thoroughly and drain them completely. Now do it again. You really don't want any "beany" tasting liquid in your brownies!
- In your Vitamix or blender, add rinsed and drained beans, eggs, vanilla, coconut oil, sugar or honey, and cacao powder. Blend until smooth, then add the salt and pulse until well mixed. Batter will be thin.
- Grease an a 8"x8" baking dish liberally with coconut oil, and pour batter into dish. (These come out only about an inch thick, so if you like them thicker, double the recipe, change to a 9"x13" pan, and add a little more baking time.)
- Top with optional walnuts or other toppings.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the top and sides are set, and the insides are just a little bit soft.
- Cool before serving and enjoy!
