For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or add a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the batter. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender or food processor. Just be sure to scrape down the sides frequently to ensure all the beans are pureed. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat and Prep (5 minutes): Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously coat a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02
StepBlend the Base (10 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, mashed avocado, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the rinsed and drained black beans. Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender – be careful!), purée the mixture until completely smooth. Ensure there are no bean chunks remaining for the best texture.
03
StepCombine and Conquer (5 minutes): In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cocoa powder to eliminate any lumps. Add this mixture to the black bean batter and mix by hand with a wooden spoon or spatula until thoroughly combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
04
StepBake to Perfection (25-30 minutes): Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. Be careful not to overbake, as this can lead to dry brownies.
05
StepCool and Enjoy (60 minutes): Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving. Cooling completely is crucial for achieving the desired fudgy texture. For an extra treat, dust with cocoa powder or top with fresh berries.
