Easy Black Bean Brownies (Made With Oat Flour!)

🧂 Ingredients

• 3/4 cup oat flour

  or white whole-wheat flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder

  sifted
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 15 oz can of black beans

  drained and rinsed
• 3/4 cup water
• 3/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips*

  optional
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
• cooking spray
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp coconut oil

  melted
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350ºF and coat an 8×8-inch baking pan with coconut oil or
  cooking spray. In a large bowl combine oat flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking
  powder.
• 2 In a blender, combine black beans, water, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Blend
  until everything is combined and the beans are broken down. This will be a very
  liquid-y mixture.
• 3 Pour the bean mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well
  combined. Stir in the nuts and the chocolate chips.
• 4 Pour mixture into greased pan and pop in the oven for 30 minutes or until a
  toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out clean.
• 5 While the brownies are baking, make your icing by simply combining the
  unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla in a small bowl.
  Mix until you have a thick, rich chocolate icing. Once the brownies have cooled
  completely, spread the icing all over the top of the brownies. Cut into 16
  squares and enjoy!
