Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8x8 square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Combine the rinsed and drained black beans, eggs, oil, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract, baking powder, and sweetener (of your choice - honey, sugar, etc.), in a blender; blend until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 25- 30 minutes.
  • Using the whisk attachment for your mixer, beat avocado and butter until combined and no lumps remain.
  • Beat in vanilla and salt.
  • Add powdered sugar slowly and mix until combined. Add more powdered sugar to reach desired consistency.
