Black Bean Brownies

 This is a great way to get extra black beans into your diet. My kiddos LOVE these, and they are very easy to make. These are delicious, so chocolatey, and 100% plant-based. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients: 

• 2 cans of black beans drained and rinsed
• 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons flax mixed with 6 tablespoons water and left to sit for 5 minutes)
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1/2 cup flour
• 3/4 unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (save some extra to sprinkle on top)

Directions:

• Add the black beans, flax egg, and vanilla to the food processor until the beans are smooth
• Stir in the olive oil
• Mix the rest of the ingredients together in a large bowl until fully combined
• Pour batter into a large casserole dish (greased if needed) and sprinkle vegan chocolate chips on top
• Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes
• Cool, cut into bars, serve, and enjoy!
