Black Bean Brownies

1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained

3 large eggs (or 3 flax eggs for vegan)

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

¾ cup pure maple syrup (or agave/honey)

½ cup melted coconut oil (or neutral oil or melted butter)

2 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp sea salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided (use dairy-free for vegan)

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease or line an 8x8" baking pan.
In a blender or food processor, blend black beans, eggs, cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
Stir in half the chocolate chips.
Pour batter into the pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Cool before slicing. Store in the fridge for fudgier brownies.
