Ingredients

  • 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup silan or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup 100% tahini
  • 3 ounces halvah broken into 1 inch pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or a 12-cup standard size muffin pan.
  • In a food processor or a bowl with an immersion blender, process black beans with eggs, evoo, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla, silan, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Puree until smooth, scraping down sides and needed.
  • If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon or 2 of water and pulse again. It should be thick and not runny.
  • Evenly distribute the batter into the 8x8 or muffin tins and smooth the tops with a spatula.
  • Use a spoon to drizzle tahini over top brownies. Scatter the halva. Gently run a knife through to marble the brownies.
  • Bake for 20-26 minutes if using muffin tins or 35-45 minutes if using an 8x8 dish. You want the top dry and the edges to start to pull away from the sides. It shouldn't be jiggly when shaken.
