Ingredients

  • 1 can (15.25 oz.) Kroger® No Salt Added Black Beans, rinsed with warm water and drained
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vanilla extract

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8”x8” baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the black beans, honey, coconut sugar and coconut oil in a food processor. Process until well combined. Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and vanilla. Blend until smooth. Add the eggs and blend until just combined.
