Equipment

1 food processor

Ingredients

1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup melted salted butter
1 large egg
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon instant coffee
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Add 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, to a food processor and blend until smooth.
Add ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup melted salted butter, 1 large egg, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon instant coffee, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon baking powder and blend until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the food processor and blend for a few more seconds to ensure the batter is fully combined.
Transfer the batter to a medium bowl and stir in ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top, if desired, and bake for 21-24 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Let the brownies cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
