• 3 eggs
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ⅓ cup cocoa powder
• ½ cup maple syrup
• cooking spray
• ⅓ cup coconut oil
• ¼ cup chocolate chips (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square glass pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place black beans and coconut oil in a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the beans are warmed through and the coconut oil is melted, about 5 minutes. Mix in eggs, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder.

Step 3

Transfer black bean mixture to a blender. Cover and blend into a smooth batter, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour into greased pan and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until batter pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting, about 30 minutes.
