Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup melted salted butter
- 1 large egg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Add 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup melted salted butter, 1 large egg, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon instant coffee, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon baking powder and blend until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the food processor and blend for a few more seconds to ensure the batter is fully combined.

- Let the brownies cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
