Ingredients

1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 ½ tablespoons water
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed
½ cup coconut sugar
½ avocado, peeled
2 teaspoons coconut oil
⅔ cup cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
⅓ cup vegan chocolate chips, plus more for topping

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 8-inch square baking dish with 1 tablespoon coconut oil.
Mix water and flaxseed meal together in a small bowl to make a "flax egg"; set aside to thicken, about 5 minutes.
Place flax egg, black beans, coconut sugar, avocado, and 2 teaspoons coconut oil in a food processor and puree until well-combined. Add cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder; blend until batter is smooth, 3 to 4 minutes.
Transfer batter to a large bowl and fold in chocolate chips. Pour into the baking dish and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cut into 16 bars and top with additional chocolate chips.
