Cooking steps

Black Bean Brownies

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients [00:00]

Gather all the ingredients: black beans, dates, cocoa powder, plant milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and any optional ingredients like chocolate chips and walnuts.

Step 2: Cook the Black Beans [00:36]

Cook the black beans in the Instant Pot for 25 minutes or use canned beans if preferred.

Step 3: Blend the Ingredients [03:15]

In a food processor, combine the black beans, dates, cocoa powder, plant milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.

Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips [04:20]

Pulse in some chocolate chips to the blended mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 5: Prepare the Baking Pan [04:33]

Crumple parchment paper and line an 8x8 baking pan. Pour the brownie batter into the pan and smooth it out.

Step 6: Top with Extras [04:43]

Add additional chocolate chips and walnuts on top of the batter if desired.

Step 7: Bake the Brownies [11:46]

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness.

Step 8: Cool and Serve [12:18]

Let the brownies cool in the pan for as long as possible before serving. They taste better the next day as they continue to firm up and the flavors meld together.
