How to Prepare Flourless Avocado Black Bean Brownies [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Place the black beans, avocado, flax egg, coconut sugar, and coconut oil in a food processor and purée them until they are well mixed.
Blend in the baking powder, baking soda, and cacao powder. Blend the mixture for another 3-4 minutes.
Fold in the chocolate chips and pour the mixture into the baking dish.
Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes
After 25 minutes, place a knife in the mixture. If it is done, it should pierce the brownie and come out with no residue.
