Description
A simple recipe for fudgy brownies made with red beans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 ounce) can red beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- Combine the rinsed red beans, eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract in a food processor. Process until completely smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the food processor mixture. Pulse until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread evenly.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Rinsing the red beans well removes excess liquid and flavor.
- For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them.
- Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature.
