1canblack beans15 oz., with liquid, pureed to smooth
3/4cupchocolate chipsoptional
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9” baking pan with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.
Pour the can of black beans, including the liquid, into a food processor and pulse on high for 2-3 minutes to make sure they are absolutely pureed and completely smooth, stopping to scrape bottom and sides of the food processor as to ensure a completely smooth puree.
In a large bowl, place the brownie mix, pureed beans and the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
Once mixed, pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-38 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly cleanly with moist crumbs attached. Remove, leave in pan set on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before slicing
Notes
How to tell when fudgy brownies are done
If you want them to be fudgy you do not want to bake too long. The look of the top should have the edges all the way around cracking and slightly into the center. The middle should no longer look wet, but slightly underdone, slightly firm to the touch.
Using a toothpick there should be wet crumbs attached but not wet batter.
Allow to completely cool in the pan, set on a cooling rack before slicing for the ideal texture.
