Black Bean Black Forest Brownies
Fudgy and chocolaty and basically perfect with a scoop of rum cherries - serve this with a dollop of coconut whip or 'nice cream' to make it dairy free. This recipe is gluten free.
Ingredients
- 19 oz can black beans, rinsed
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/3 cup sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks (dairy free if needed)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 8x8' pan and line with parchment paper.
-
Place all of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips or chunks in a blender and blend on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute, scraping down sides if needed.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Portion out 3/4 cup of the rum cherry mixture and randomly spoon it on top of the batter. Take a knife and run it through the batter to spread the cherries out a bit (not too much). Sprinkle the chocolate chips or chunks evenly on top and bake until set, about 40 minutes. Set aside to cool before serving.
-
Serve with a dollop of coconut whip or 'nice cream' and a spoonful of the rum cherry sauce.
