Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 large egg + 2 egg whites* (replace with 2 flax eggs for the vegan version)
- ½ extra ripe avocado, or 1 small
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- ⅔ cup of raw cacao
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp bicarb soda
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup dates, soaked in warm water for 1 hour and drained
- ⅓ chocolate chips
- Handful of roughly chopped macadamias
- 2-3 tbsp crunchy peanut butter + pinch of salt, mixed
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Place all the ingredients, except the chocolate chips, macadamias and peanut butter, in a food processor and process until smooth and well combined. Fold in the macadamias and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into a pan you have oiled with a bit of coconut oil and lined with baking paper. With a teaspoon, portion the peanut butter out all over the batter - use a BBQ skewer and swirl through the batter.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Cool pan on wire rack and then cut into 12 yummy squares.
- Serve the brownies warm with a scoop of your tastiest coconut vanilla ice cream or cold with a dollop of coconut cream. You can also drizzle the brownies with some extra chocolate sauce you made out of coconut oil, cacao and maple syrup.
