Ingredients

  • A single tablespoon of luscious coconut oil
  • Two and a half tablespoons of pure water
  • A generous tablespoon of nutritious flaxseed meal
  • One can of no-salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed (15 ounces)
  • A half cup of sweet coconut sugar
  • Half of a ripe avocado, peeled gently
  • Two teaspoons of fragrant coconut oil
  • Two-thirds of a cup of rich cocoa powder
  • A quarter teaspoon of baking soda for that perfect rise
  • A quarter teaspoon of baking powder to enhance fluffiness
  • One-third cup of vegan chocolate chips, with extra for garnishing

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare a charming 8-inch square baking dish by generously greasing it with a dollop of delightful coconut oil.

Step 2

In a sweet culinary dance, combine water and flaxseed meal in a dainty bowl to create a velvety "flax egg"; allow it to rest and thicken for approximately 5 minutes.

Step 3

Next, in a food processor, blend together the flax egg, luscious black beans, coconut sugar, creamy avocado, and a touch of coconut oil until the concoction is harmoniously united. Introduce cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder to the mix, blending until the batter reaches a blissfully smooth consistency, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 4

Gently transfer this delectable batter into a spacious bowl, where you can lovingly fold in a generous amount of chocolate chips. Pour this chocolate-infused goodness into the waiting baking dish, ensuring the top is tenderly smoothed out.

Step 5

Allow this masterpiece to bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into its heart emerges clean and content, typically around 25 minutes. Once ready, cut this creation into 16 delectable bars and sprinkle with a final flourish of extra chocolate chips for an added touch of decadence.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your avocados at the perfect ripeness by storing them in a paper bag with a banana. The ethylene gas emitted by the banana will help speed up the ripening process.
  3. 2. Store your black beans in an airtight container to keep them fresh for longer. You can also freeze cooked black beans in a resealable bag for quick and easy use in recipes.
