Ingredients
3/4 C Cocoa powder1/2 C Salted butter1/2 C Applesauce (unsweetened)16 oz Canned black beans (drained and rinsed)1 C Walnuts (chopped)1 T Vanilla extract1 T Instant coffeeShake of kosher salt4 eggs1½ C Light agave nectar
Preheat the oven to 325° F. Prepare an 11 x 8 in pyrex dish by lining with parchment paper or lightly oiling with Baker's Joy/Pam/butter/etc.
Melt butter in a small bowl in the microwave. Stir in applesauce and cocoa powder until combined. Place the beans, 1/2 C of walnuts, vanilla extract, and 3-4 spoonfuls of the chocolate mixture into a food processor. Blend until smooth (~ 1 min). It will be very thick. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together remaining 1/2 C walnuts, the rest of the melted chocolate mixture, instant coffee, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, beat the eggs with a mixer until light and creamy (~ 1-2 min). Add agave nectar and beat well. Set aside.
Add bean mixture to butter mixture, manually stirring until blended well. Then add the egg mixture (reserving 1/4 C to drizzle over top if desired), and hand mix until just combined. Pour the batter into prepared pan.
Bake for ~45 mins, until the brownies are set. Cool completely in the pan before cutting. You may need to refridgerate first - these are extremely soft.
