Equipment

8 x 8-inch baking pan

Ingredients

1 15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed very well, approximately 1 ½ cups
½ cup oats see notes
½ cup maple syrup
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Add all ingredients to a food processor except chocolate chips. Blend until smooth.
Stir in chocolate chips. Spread in prepared baking pan.
Bake for 15-18 minutes. Cool before cutting.

Notes

If using rolled oats instead of quick oats, processing oats before adding the remaining ingredients can help make batter smoother. If you find the batter is not as smooth as you like, I recommend processing the black beans (with oil as needed) until smooth as well.

A food processor will produce a smoother batter, but a high-powered blender will work in a pinch.
