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
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish with coconut oil.
  2. Using a large Food-Processor, puree the black beans and coconut oil. Add in eggs and puree to a smooth paste.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients: honey, cocoa powder, salt, extracts, and leavening and process to combine.
  4. 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).
  5. Let cool for 30 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
