Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 175°C. Prepare an 20.32 × 20.32 cm baking pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
  2. 2In a food processor, combine the 1 can (about 425 g) black beans (rinsed and drained), 2 eggs, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  3. 3Process these ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
  4. 4Gently stir in the 1/2 cup chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. 5Pour the batter into the prepared 20.32 × 20.32 cm baking pan, spreading it evenly to fill the pan.
  6. 6Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The brownies are ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist, fudgy crumbs attached.
  7. 7Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into 9 squares. Cooling completely is important for the best fudgy texture.
