Vegan Gluten-Free Black Bean Brownies

Ingredients

• Black beans

  Mature seeds, cooked, boiled, with salt

  1 ½ cup or 258g

• Hershey's Unsweetened Cacao Powder

  12 servings or 1.2kg

• Flaxseed

  Seeds

  2 ½ tbsp, whole or 26g

• Water

  Plain, clean water

  6 tbsp or 89g

• Coconut oil

  3 tbsp or 41g

• Salt

  1 serving or 100g

• Vanilla Extract

  ¼ serving or 25g

• Stevia

  6 packet or 600g

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Lightly grease a 12-slot standard size muffin pan (not mini). Make sure you've rinsed and thoroughly drained your black beans at this point.
3. Prepare flax egg by combining flax and water in the bowl of the food processor. Pulse a couple times and then let rest for a few minutes.
4. Add remaining ingredients (besides any optional toppings) and puree - about 3 minutes - scraping down sides as needed. You want it pretty smooth.
5. If the batter appears too thick, add a Tbsp or two of water and pulse again. It should be slightly less thick than chocolate frosting but nowhere close to runny.
6. Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin tin and smooth the tops with a spoon or your finger.
7. Optional: Sprinkle with crushed walnuts, pecans or chocolate chips.
8. Bake for 20-26 minutes or until the tops are dry and the edges start to pull away from the sides. I found mine took about 25.
9. Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes before removing from pan. They will be tender, so remove gently with a fork. The insides are meant to be very fudgy, so don't be concerned if they seem too moist - that's the point.
10. Store in an airtight container for up to a few days. Refrigerate to keep longer.
