How to Make Black Bean Brownies Gluten Free Dairy Free

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a food processor, combine 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained, and process until a smooth paste forms. (Alternatively, use a blender or potato masher).
  3. Add 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup gluten-free flour blend, 1 teaspoon xanthan gum, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper to the food processor.
  4. Process until the batter is completely smooth and well combined.
  5. Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and make cutting easier.
  9. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
