How to Make Black Bean Brownies Gluten Free

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed), 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or more, to your liking!).
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  8. Melt remaining chocolate chips (about 1/2 cup) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Spread evenly over the cooled brownies.
