Description

Nice but not so naughty. Canned black beans are the surprise ingredient here, creating a brownie that is moist, fudgy and delicious.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Preheat the oven to 180°C (Gas 4). Lightly oil a 28 x18cm metal baking tin. In a food processor, combine the black beans, agave, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and orange zest until smooth.

Step 2 of 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt, baking powder, sugar, and cocoa powder. Incorporate the black bean mixture and aquafaba until well mixed.

Step 3 of 4

Gently fold in the chocolate chips, being careful not to overwork the mixture.

Step 4 of 4

Pour the mixture into the baking tin. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the brownies pull away from the edge and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool for 15-20 minutes before cutting and serving.
