Ingredients

  • 1 can 400g black beans
  • 1/2 cup plain rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup coconut palm sugar
  • 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 175C / Gas Mark 4. Line a baking tin with baking parchment and set aside.
  • In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except chocolate chips and pulse until smooth.
  • Stir in majority of the chocolate chips (leave around 1 teaspoon for later) and mix. 
  • Pour the brownie mixture into the baking tin, and smooth out the top using a silicone spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of the cake.
  • Place in the oven and bake for around 20 minutes. Once out of the oven, let it cool all the way. I know! It’s tough.
