A delightful twist on classic brownies, these black bean chocolate squares are gluten-free and packed with flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
In a blender, combine the black beans, eggs, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and sugar. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top.
Gently tap the dish on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Avoid overbaking to maintain a fudgy texture.
Let the squares cool in the dish for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Cooling allows the squares to firm up for easier slicing.
Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious black bean chocolate squares!
Pair with a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent treat.
