Flourless Black Bean Brownies
Description
The Flourless Black Bean Brownies start by blending black beans with eggs to form a smooth paste, integrating honey, melted butter, and two types of extracts to deepen the flavor profile. Cocoa powder, baking powder, and fine sea salt are added and blended thoroughly to combine. The batter is poured into a parchment-lined baking dish, topped with semi-sweet chocolate chips, and baked at 350°F until the center passes the toothpick test.
The result is a fudgy, moist brownie that owes its texture to the pureed black beans, which replace flour while adding body. Almond and vanilla extracts contribute subtle aromatic notes that complement the chocolate. Once cooled, the brownies can be cut into squares and served as a rich dessert or snack.
