Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C) and line a 9 inch square pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Add rinsed and drained black beans and water to a high speed blender and blend until completely smooth. Add a touch more water if needed. Set aside.
Add vegan butter and dark chocolate to a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, whisking after each until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl and whisk together. Mixture should become very thick. Add vanilla extract, instant espresso powder and black bean mixture to the bowl and whisk until completely smooth. Whisk in the salt and the cocoa powder. Add the all purpose flour and mix until a thick batter comes together. Do not over-mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour brownie batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Bake in pre-heated oven for 40-45 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out mostly clean. Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting.
