What you need

cup cocoa powder

tsp baking powder
tsp salt

can black beans

tbsp strong brewed coffee

cup dark brown sugar

cup avocado oil

tbsp vanilla extract
cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
0 Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease and line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides for easy removal. 1 In a food processor fitted with the metal blade attachment, process the oats until finely ground. Transfer the oat flour to a small bowl. Whisk in the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain. 2 In the same food processor, add the drained black beans and the coffee. Process until a smooth paste is formed. Add the dark brown sugar, oil, and vanilla extract. Process, scraping down the sides of the bowl periodically, until the mixture is well combined. 3 Add the dry ingredients into the food processor and process until the mixture is smooth and the dry ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. 4 Remove the metal blade from the food processor bowl and fold in ½ cup (85 grams) of the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and evenly smooth using a small offset spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the surface of the batter. 5 Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the center is just set and the edges are dry and starting to pull away from the pan. Remove from the oven and place on a wire cooling rack to cool completely before slicing; at least 30 minutes. Enjoy!View original recipe
