This is my go-to recipe for brownies! They’re soft, chocolatey, and a favorite among my non-vegan friends too. They’re super easy to make, just throwing all of the ingredients into a food processor and pouring into a baking dish - that’s it!
I always try to make something indulgent for the week because who doesn’t want something chocolatey on the regular??
Ingredients:
1 - 15oz can black beans - drained, rinsed
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
3oz vegan friendly chocolate (I use chocolate chips)
1/2 cup granulated cane sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup All Purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon powdered sugar for topping (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F and line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil, spray with oil to prevent sticking
In a food processor, combine beans, applesauce, and chocolate. Cover and process until smooth
Add granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla. Cover and process until combined.
Add in the remaining ingredients (flour through salt) and process just until combine, scrap down the sides as needed
Pour batter into prepared baking pan and make for 20 minutes until the center is form and the edges are puffed.
Cool brownies in the pan on a wire rack and sprinkle with powdered sugar
