These are chewy, yummy, and mildly sweet.
Ingredients:
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
1/2 C. quick or rolled oats
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 C. pure maple syrup (1/2 C. if not using coconut sugar)
2 Tbsp. coconut sugar (OR omit and use all maple syrup)
1/4 C. applesauce (or 1/4 C. coconut oil if not oil-free)
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 C. chocolate chips (use dairy-free for vegan—we like Lily's brand)
1.2 C. chopped walnuts
Optional: extra chocolate chips and walnuts for topping.
Instructions:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 8x8 square baking pan with parchment paper. (Crumple parchment paper before lining to make it easier.)
2) Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips and walnuts in food processor and blend until smooth. (Don't be afraid to blend well!)
3) Add chocolate chips and walnuts to the mixture and stir well.
4) Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and top with optional additional chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, if desired.
5) Bake for 16-18 minutes, then cool at least 10 minutes before cutting.
