Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 9-12
Ingredients:
  • 1 (15.5 oz) can of black beans, rinsed and drained (or 2 cups of well-cooked black beans)
  • 3 Tbsp vegetable oil (coconut oil can be used, but will result in a slight coconut taste)
  • 2½ Tbsp of fresh ground flax sees whisked into 3 Tbsp of warm water
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup and 1 Tbsp cocoa powder (sift if full of clumps)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (I used my homemade version)
  • 1 tsp coffee
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Optional: Walnuts or dairy free chocolate or carob chips for topping
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Using either a food processor or blender, combine all the ingredients except for the toppings. Blend well, stopping at least once to scrape down the sides of the blender carafe and blending again. You do not want any large chunks of beans in this batter. It should be very smooth.
  3. Pour batter into an 8 x 8 inch glass baking dish.
  4. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until knife comes out clean.
  5. Cool for at least a half hour before cutting and serving.
