Nobody will ever guess that these rich, smooth, chocolatey goodies are made with black beans. These are really quick and easy to make. For an extra special treat, swirl melted peanut butter on top before baking.
Preheat oven to 350. Prepare an 8×8 baking dish (see Notes below) with cooking spray or parchment paper.
Add all ingredients, with the exception of the chocolate chips, to high-powered blender and process until very smooth, scraping sides as necessary.
Pour batter into mixing bowl and stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake for 28-30 minutes. Let cool before slicing.
Recipe Notes
For Peanut Butter Fudgy Brownies, drizzle 2 TBS melted peanut butter onto batter that has been poured into the baking pan. With the tip of a knife, drag gently through batter to create a swirl effect. Bake as directed. Delicious!
I’ve baked these in both a square glass pan and a silicone brownie pan, and they were equally good. If using a brownie pan, bake 25 minutes. For interest I placed regular-sized chocolate chips on top before baking instead of stirring into the batter, as you can see in the photo. More work, for sure, but kinda cute, and you’re guaranteed a chip with every bite!
