Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine black beans, ripe avocado, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed to remove any bean bits.
  4. Add gluten-free oat flour and pulse a few times just to incorporate without over-mixing.
  5. Fold in dairy-free chocolate chips if desired for extra fudgy pockets throughout the brownies.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. Cut into 16 equal squares and serve.
  10. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Storage and Reheating

Store cooled brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze slices for up to 2 months with parchment between layers. Enjoy chilled for the fudgiest texture, or warm briefly in the microwave if you prefer softer chocolate chips.
