Easy Chocolate Fudge Brownies (No Added Sugar, GF, DF)

Print Recipe
Servings: 12
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz can black beans drained & rinsed
  • 12 medjool dates pitted
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil melted
  • ¼ cup oat flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Placed dates in a microwave safe bowl, cover with about 1 cup of water and microwave for 60 seconds. Drain water from the dates and add to food processor along with all the other ingredients. Blend for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and blend another 60 seconds. Repeat if needed until batter reaches a smooth consistency.
  2. Line 8x8 baking dish with non-stick foil or parchment paper and spray with oil spray (I use a Misto). Pour batter into pan. Dip scraper into a bowl of water if needed to help push the batter into the corners without it sticking to the scraper. Bake brownies for 25-28 minutes or just until a toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!

Notes

  • These brownies can be made without the oat flour (grain free) but I prefer the texture as the recipe is written.
  • This recipe is gluten free, but if you have Celiac make sure to use certified gluten free oats to ensure no cross-contamination.
