Preparation time:

Baking time:

Yield:

10-12 bars

Ingredients:

1 15-ounce can of black beans (drained and rinsed)

2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)

1/2 cup quick oats*

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup maple syrup or honey

2 tablespoons coconut sugar

1/4 cup coconut oil

2/3 cups chocolate chips

1 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

2/3 cup rolled oat flakes

If you only have rolled oats on hand, just pulse the rolled oats a few times in the blender to get to the consistency of quick oats.

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease or spray an 8”x 8” baking pan.

Combine all ingredients except for the chocolate chips. Use a food processor (preferred) or mixer to blend until the batter is completely smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips, then pour into a greased 8×8 pan.

Bake for 15-18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting.
