PREP TIME: 15 MINUTES
COOK TIME: 20 MINUTES
SERVES: 12 BROWNIES
INGREDIENTS:
Coconut oil cooking spray
3/4 cup cooked organic black beans
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 cage free organic eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 cup coconut palm sugar (I like Trader Joes brand)
1 tsp. expresso or instant coffee
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (I like Enjoy Life brand)
1/3 cup gluten free flour (I like Namaste brand)
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. sea salt
2 tbsp. raw organic cacao nibs (I like Nativas brand)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Coat a 9x9 inch square baking pan with coconut oil cooking spray. In a food processor, puree the beans with the oil. Add the eggs, cocoa, coconut sugar, expresso and vanilla. Melt half the chocolate chips and add to the food processor. Process until smooth. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and sea salt. Add to the food processor and pulse until just incorporated. Stir in the remaining chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan. Sprinkle cacao nibs on top. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool before cutting.
