Black Bean Brownies

Yields: 12 servings
Bake: 15–18 minutes at 350°F (175°C) | Pan: 8×8-inch

Ingredients:

• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

• ½ cup quick oats

• ¼ cup vegetable oil

• ⅓ cup honey

• 2 tablespoons sugar

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• ½ cup chocolate chips (I use plant-based Chipits)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan.

2. Mix the ingredients:
   In a large bowl (or blender/food processor for smoother texture), combine all ingredients except the chocolate chips. Blend or mix thoroughly until smooth.

3. Fold in the chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

4. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

5. Cool before slicing. Cut into 12 squares and enjoy!
