MAKES 8 BROWNIES
One 15-ounce can salt-free black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1½ cups date syrup
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon caramel extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup raw cocoa (Ultimate SuperFoods is my favorite brand)
- ¾ cup barley flour
- 1 cup Sunspire nondairy grain-sweetened chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Put beans and date syrup into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the “S” blade and process until smooth. Add the flax seeds, vanilla and caramel extracts, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa and process again. Add the flour and pulse until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into an 8 × 8-inch square silicone baking pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the middle does not jiggle and a toothpick inserted into it comes out clean .
