Ingredients

1 can of black beans
2 eggs
50 g unsweetened cocoa powder 1.8 oz/ ½ cup
100 g xylitol 3.5 oz/ ½ cup
1 teaspoon oil
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground/instant coffee
130 g semisweet chocolate chips divided, 4.5 oz/ ¾ cup, Note

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F. Grease a square pan of about 22 cm x 22 cm/9 inch x 9 inches and line it with parchment paper.
Drain and rinse the black beans and blend them to a paste in a food processor or a bowl using a handheld blender.
Batter: Add the eggs, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, oil, milk, vinegar, baking powder, baking soda, and the coffee. Mix thoroughly, transfer to a bowl (if you have used the food processor previously), fold in about ¾ of the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
Place the batter in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips or chopped chocolate on top.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, depending on your oven, until a toothpick inserted in the brownies comes out clean, but some crumbs still cling to it. Don't over ake the brownies, or they won't be so deliciously moist anymore. Let cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Sub with or chopped semisweet chocolate or dark chocolate.
