Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans black beans or about 3.5 cups cooked beans
  • 3/4 cup coconut oil plus 2 tbsp

  • 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).
