Easy and Delicious Gluten-Free Vegan Black Bean Brownies
Ingredients
1 standard 15 ounce can of black beans, drained and rinsed well
3 Tablespoons raw cacao (but you can use regular baking cocoa instead)
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats or oat flour (but oats are far better, and they must be the quick-cooking version)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1/3 cup walnut pieces (optional)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°
Grease an 8-inch square brownie pan (we use coconut oil for this) and set aside.
Throw all of the ingredients except the chocolate chips and walnuts into the food processor, and process until smooth (see? We told you that it was easy!)
Add the chocolate chips and walnuts to the bowl of the food processor, and pulse a few times to incorporate them.
Spread batter into the pan, making sure to get it all the way into the corners, and smooth it gently to make sure that it is evenly spread.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges just start to pull away from the pan (start checking them after 20 minutes).
Cool on a wire rack, letting the brownies cool completely before cutting them.
The Happy Gluten-Free Vegan is always free, with no annoying ads or video pops, but it does cost us money out of our pocket to keep it going (over 12 years so far!) So your tips via CashApp, Venmo, or Paypal are VERY appreciated. Receipts will come from ISIPP.

Can this be made SOS free?
Hi Rick! I think you could easily eliminate the salt and oil, but I’m not sure how you would eliminate the sugar, unless you are open to a sugar alternative like Swerve or the like.
