How to Make Vegan Black Bean Brownies

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mash the black beans until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky. Add the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Mix well until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
