Ingredients
  

For the Brownies:
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp Dutch cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats or almond flour for gluten-free option
  • 1 can black beans or 1 1/2 cup cooked
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup mashed avocado (60g)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or almond butter
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (not optional)

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking Pan
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your brownies bake evenly.
  2. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
  3. In your blender or food processor, combine the black beans, mashed avocado, maple syrup (or honey), coconut oil (or almond butter), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats (or almond flour), unsweetened cocoa powder, Dutch cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
  5. Pour the blended wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  6. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for a smooth batter and fudgy texture.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
  • For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
