Author
Donielle
Ingredients
1 3/4
cups
black beans
or 1 can of no salt added – you can find BPA free canned beans at Tropical Traditions
1/3
cup
melted coconut oil
or melted butter
1/4
cup
cocoa powder
1/8
teaspoon
salt
2
teaspoons
vanilla extract
1/2
cup
honey
or other equivalent sweetener
3
lightly beaten eggs
1/2
cup
chopped up bittersweet chocolate
or semi-sweet chips if you don’t mind the added refined sugar in them
1/3
cup
finely chopped walnuts -optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease an 8×8 pan.
Place all but the final 3 ingredients (eggs, chopped up chocolate and walnuts) into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Fold in the remaining ingredients.
Pour into the pan and bake for about 30 minutes.
Let cool – the texture actually changes as they cool off, getting more “fudgy”.
Notes
*Other optional ingredients I’ve tried – 1/4 cup crispy almonds and a handful of spinach. Both work wonderfully.
