Mint Chocolate Black Bean Brownies
Ingredients
- 2 cans black beans or about 3.5 cups cooked beans
- 3/4 cup coconut oil plus 2 tbsp
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup cocoa powder unsweetened (can add 1/4 cup more for darker chocolate)
- 1/8 tsp Himalayan or sea salt
- 2 tsp peppermint or mint extract natural
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder aluminum free
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish with coconut oil.
- Using a large Food-Processor, puree the black beans and coconut oil. Add in eggs and puree to a smooth paste.
- Add the remaining ingredients: honey, cocoa powder, salt, extracts, and leavening and process to combine.
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake for 40-45 minutes. Check center to make sure it is set (will be slightly ‘fudgy' which is okay); the top should have large cracks throughout).
- Let cool for 30 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
