Categories Bar Cookie

Time 1h

Yield 1 brownie pan, 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ounces high-quality unsweetened chocolate bars
1/3 cup coconut oil or 1/3 cup shortening
2 cups black beans, rinsed well (canned)
1 cup agave nectar or 1 cup honey
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder (if avoiding coffee, sub in 1 teaspoon almond extract)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup coconut flour (found in health food section of grocery store) or 2/3 cup almond flour (found in health food section of grocery store)
3 tablespoons flax seed meal
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup walnut pieces (optional) or 1 cup chopped almonds (optional)
1/2 cup unsweetened chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325*F, and grease a small (8x8 or 9x9) pan. Break up the unsweetened chocolate, and combine it with the fat (butter, coconut oil or shortening). Heat the mixture on low power in the microwave or in a double boiler, stirring often, until it's melted and combined.
Meanwhile, put the black beans, agave, vanilla, espresso powder, and salt in a food processor. Add the chocolate mixture, and process 2-3 minutes - until the black beans are obliterated and the mixture is well-combined. Add almond flour (or coconut flour), flax meal, and baking soda. Process two minutes more. Fold in nuts & chocolate chips, if using.
Pour the mixture into the greased baking pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes - until the top is set, but be careful about burning the edges. Allow to cool for at least an hour; otherwise, the brownies may be too gooey to slice.
Store covered on the counter, or for a firmer brownie, in the refrigerator.

Number Of Ingredients 1

13 tablespoons unsalted butter 6½ ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped ¾ cup sifted all-purpose flour ¾ cup sifted cake flour ¾ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 2 cups granulated sugar 4 eggs 1¼ teaspoons

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides; set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate, stirring constantly, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes, until lemon-colored and fluffy, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Add cooled chocolate mixture and vanilla. Beat on low speed until combined. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until just combined, then give it a final stir by hand with a rubber spatula. Spread the batter in the prepared pan.
Bake until brownies appear set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with some moist crumbs attached, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Cut the brownies into squares and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. The brownies can also be frozen (wrapped individually and placed in a resealable freezer bag) for up to 2 months.
