The healthiest brownies that no one will guess are healthy. I often modify recipes to make them my own, but with baking, modifications are a bit trickier for me, so this is very close to the original.

Ingredients
- 2 cups black beans (I used canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/3 cup of maple syrup
- ½ cup date paste* (see recipe below) *allow 1 hour soaking time for date paste
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup raw cacao powder
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ cup oat or almond flour (I used almond)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
To make date paste
- Pour 2/3 cup of hot water over 1 cup pitted dates and then soak for about an hour. Throw all ingredients into a powerful blender or food processor and process until a smooth, thick paste is formed.
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease mini muffin tins with coconut oil.
- In a food processor with S-blade (I used my Vitamix with regular blade; it was iffy, but did the job), mix black beans, banana, maple syrup, date paste, coconut oil, cacao powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and sea salt until well-combined and smooth.
- Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
- Fill mini muffin tins about 2/3 full and bake 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes and transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- High fibre and protein with no processed sugar.
