Ingredients

• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed well
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square pan.

2. 2

   Blend everything except the chocolate chips until smooth, about a minute.

3. 3

   Stir in half the chocolate chips, spread the batter in the pan and scatter the rest on top.

4. 4

   Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the center is just set.

5. 5

   Cool completely before cutting. They get fudgier as they sit.
