Step 1
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a 9×9 square pan with baking paper.
Step 2
Blend the Black Beans: Strain and rinse the tinned black beans. Add the beans and eggs into a blender and blend until smooth.
Step 3
Mix the Wet Ingredients: Pour the blended liquid into a bowl and add the rest of the wet ingredients: sourdough discard, melted butter, almond butter, vanilla bean paste, and brown sugar.
Step 4
Add the Dry Ingredients: Mix until well combined before adding the dry ingredients: instant coffee, salt, cocoa powder, and bicarbonate of soda. Add your chocolate chips and any other add-ins of your choice.
Step 5
Pour and Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes. The top should be slightly cracked, and a skewer should come out with a slightly wet crumb when inserted. (It’s best to keep these on the slightly undercooked side to achieve a less cakey brownie.)
Step 6
Cool and Serve: Transfer the brownie to a cooling rack and leave to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
