Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1 15-oz can black beans, drained and rinsed (about 1 3/4 cups)
  • 3 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. canola oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup + 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips*
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries, washed and dried

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F.  Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
  • Place the beans and 3 tablespoons of oil in a food processor. Process on high until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.  
  • Add the eggs, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract and blend well.  
  • Add the baking powder and salt and blend for 10 seconds more. 
  • Stir in 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.  Remove the brownies and allow to cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
  • Top the brownies with the raspberries, forming a single layer.
  • Combine the remaining teaspoon of canola oil and the remaining 1/3 cup chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.  Microwave until chips are melted, about 20 to 30 seconds, stopping to stir once.  
  • Immediately drizzle the chocolate mixture on top of the raspberries. Allow the chocolate to harden for at least 10 minutes before cutting into 8 equal pieces.
    * You can also use white chocolate chips for the topping, if desired.
