Black bean brownies are an American variation that uses mashed black beans as the base. This gluten-free recipe is based on a simple idea: replacing flour with a natural, protein-rich ingredient. The result is a dense, moist, and structured cake, and the cocoa adds the sweetness that children love. It's a dessert designed for simplicity, made with common ingredients. Mix everything together in a blender or food processor to obtain a smooth batter effortlessly. This gives you the characteristic texture of a brownie without using regular flour. As with traditional brownies, you can add nuts. This cake is delicious, but be careful not to overbake it, or it will become dry.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Allow to cool before cutting into squares.
