- 1 15oz can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1 tsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup coconut syrup
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup pecans
- chocolate syrup, optional for topping
Set the oven to 350F. Line 8×8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a high-speed blender/food processor, combine black beans, eggs, coconut oil, cocoa powder, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla, and coconut syrup. Blend/pulse until you’ve reached a smooth batter-like consistency. Remove blade and fold in chocolate chips and chopped pecans. Save a few to sprinkle on top.
Pour batter into an 8x8 pan. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips and pecans. Drizzle on chocolate syrup. Using a toothpick, gently swirl the brownie batter and chocolate syrup together.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting.
