Ingredients |

4 cups of cooked black beans

250g grass fed butter, melted

4 free range eggs

100g raw cacao

200ml maple syrup

2 tbsp vanilla extract

1 shot espresso coffee (approx. 30ml)

150g walnuts, chopped

Method |

~ Pre heat oven to 160℃ and line a 20 x 24cm baking dish with unbleached baking paper.

~ Place the beans, eggs, cacao, maple syrup and vanilla extract and coffee into food processor or high speed blender and blitz until smooth.

~ Gradually pour in the melted butter whilst processing on low speed to avoid cooking the eggs.

~ Stir through chopped walnuts.

~ Pour into baking dish and bake for 40-45 mins or until cooked through.

~ Top with chocolate ganache for an optional bit of luxury 😉

To make Ganache |

~ Melt 1/4 cup of coconut oil and 1/4 cup of rice malt syrup together. Add 2-3 tbsp raw cacao and mix thoroughly, continue to mix until thickens up as it cools, then pour over brownie.

* You could also sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt flakes to give a salted chocolate spin.
