Decadent Vegan Brownies



These brownies are so rich and chocolaty! I had a hard time not eating them all at once!  The recipe is from Happy Herbivore Abroad (page 283) and is based off of a Swedish gooey cake called Kladdkaka.

Makes 9 brownies (more or less depending on the size you cut!)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Oat Flour (you can also run instant oats through a blender or food processor to make this)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 packet instant coffee (optional but highly recommended!)
  • 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1/2 cup blueberries (if frozen, thawed)
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-inch square pan and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk Oat Flour, cocoa, baking powder, brown sugar, coffee and salt, until well combined, and set aside.
  3. Heat chocolate chips in microwave for 20-40 seconds, until they are soft, not totally melted.
  4. Combine chocolate with applesauce, beans, blueberries, and vanilla in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
  5. Add wet mixture to flour mixture and stir to combine.  It will look dry at first - it's not; keep stirring until you have a thick and shiny batter.  If it looks dry (dusted with flour), add a splash of nondairy milk, but you should not need it.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes.
