Ingredients
  • 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and rained
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
  • 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Mix beans, oil, applesauce, eggs, egg yolk, sugar, cocoa powder, and espresso powder in your food processor. Pulse for 1 minute, or until smooth.

Place your chopped chocolate and butter in a small bowl and microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway. Stir until the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.

Add chocolate/butter mixture, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor; pulse to blend.

Pour batter into a large bowl and stir in the flour.

Spread batter into a foil-lined 8x8" baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Smooth the top and sprinkle evenly with the walnuts (if using).

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

Cut into squares and serve
