Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Take an 8×8 inch baking pan and grease it well. This step is crucial for preventing the brownies from sticking.
In a food processor, combine the flax egg, black beans, avocado, vanilla, and brown sugar. Blend until smooth. You should have a thick mixture that’s also somewhat creamy.
Next, add in the cocoa powder, coconut oil, baking soda, and baking powder. Process again until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth. If you find the batter is too thick, feel free to add a tablespoon or two of almond milk to help it blend.
Once the batter is ready, fold in the vegan chocolate chips or sprinkle them on top. Make sure to distribute them evenly for that perfect chocolatey bite.
Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the pan, ensuring it reaches the corners.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate chips for an extra layer of chocolate goodness.
Now, it’s time to bake! Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 30 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you want a knife inserted in the center to come out somewhat clean, but not completely dry.
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. This step is important for the brownies to set correctly.
After cooling completely, cut into 12 bars. Enjoy your Flourless Black Bean Avocado Brownies with a cold glass of almond or oat milk!
