Ingredients
Scale
1 15oz can black beans*
1/4 c water
4 oz dark chocolate (50-70%)
2/3 c vegan butter
1 c granulated sugar
1 c light brown sugar
2 tsp instant espresso powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 c dutch processed cocoa powder
1 c all purpose flour
1 c nondairy chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C) and lightly grease a 10 inch cast iron skillet with vegan butter. Set aside.
- Blend: Rinse and drain black beans. Place in a blender with the water and blend until completely smooth. This may take a few minutes. Set aside.
- Make Bater: Add dark chocolate and vegan butter to a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments whisking after each until chocolate is completely melted. Add granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the bowl. Whisk for 1 minute. Add espresso powder, vanilla and salt. Whisk until ingredients are evenly incorporated. Pour in the cocoa powder and all purpose flour. Whisk until just combined. Do not over-mix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared skillet. Bake on center rack of preheated oven for 45 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies will come out slightly wet. This is OK! The center of the brownie will be soft and fudgy. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Top with dairy free vanilla ice cream and eat straight from the skillet or scoop out individual slices.
Notes
*Skillet brownie will keep covered at room temperature for 2-3 days. This is not a freezer friendly recipe.
*You will not taste the black beans at all! Do not leave them out of the recipe as they provide the richness, density and moisture that traditional recipes get from the use of eggs. Make sure the beans you use are totally plain! Read the ingredients on the can and ensure there are no spices/flavors aside from salt.
