Step-by-Step Instructions for Avocado Brownies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment.
  2. Drain and rinse the black beans. If using rolled oats, blend them into fine flour consistency.
  3. In a food processor, blend the black beans, mashed avocado, cocoa powders, salt, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and baking powder until smooth and creamy (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Grease an 8-inch baking pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
  5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes. For fudgy brownies, aim for 20 minutes; for cake-like texture, bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Let brownies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then refrigerate covered loosely for several hours or overnight.
