Units
Scale
- 2 15oz cans of black beans (preferably unsalted), rinsed and drained
- 1 cup of oats
- 5 tablespoons cacao powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 7×11 baking dish. I like to add a tablespoon of butter and pop it in the oven while it preheats to warm it up. Or you can just add some olive oil.
- Add the black beans, oats, cacao powder, maple syrup, sugar, olive oil, baking powder, and vanilla to a blender or food processor. Give it a quick couple pulses to blend together until smooth.
- Add the chia seeds, chocolate chips, chopped walnuts and mix by hand with a spatula. Pour the batter into the baking dish.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes. Once you remove the brownies from the oven let them sit for about 10 minutes before eating. Yum!
