Ingredients
- 15 ounces black beans cooked (1 can)
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 4 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips (to top- optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Lightly spray a 9x9" baking pan with oil- just enough to prevent the batter from sticking.
- Add all ingredients to Vitamix, except chocolate chips. Blend well, adding a tiny stream of water to allow it to mix better, if needed.
- Pour into prepared baking pan, top with chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake 22-27 minutes, or until sides separate from the pan.
- Let cool 30 minutes before serving.
