Expert Cooking Tips

- Make sure to rinse and drain the black beans well to avoid any bean taste.
- Blend the avocado and beans thoroughly for a smooth batter.
- Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies moist and chewy.

Directions

Heat your oven to 350°F and greasing an 8-inch square baking dish with a tablespoon of coconut oil. In a small bowl, mix the water and flaxseed meal together to create a "flax egg," then let it sit for about 5 minutes so it can thicken up. Next, toss the flax egg, black beans, coconut sugar, avocado, and a couple teaspoons of coconut oil into a food processor and blend until everything is smooth and creamy. Add in the cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder, and keep blending for another 3 to 4 minutes until the batter is nice and smooth. Pour the batter into the baking dish, then gently fold in the chocolate chips. Smooth the top with a spatula and pop it in the oven. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean. Once it’s cooled a bit, cut into 16 squares and sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on top if you like.

Serving Ideas

Serve these brownies slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey. They also pair nicely with fresh berries or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess and flavor contrast.

Food Storage Tips

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer freshness, keep them in the fridge for about a week or freeze for up to three months. Allow frozen brownies to thaw before serving.
