1 – 13.4 oz. organic black beans (I used Whole Foods 365 in a carton)
3 tablespoon raw honey
1/4 cup organic olive oil (Thrive Market)
1 cup organic almond flour (Terrasoul.com or Amazon)
1/3 cup organic carob powder (Terrasoul.com or Amazon) OR sub powdered cacao
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 teaspoons organic vanilla (Simply Organic. iherb, Vitacost, Amazon)
1/2 cup organic raw chopped walnuts (Terrasoul.com or Amazon)
Preheat oven to 350°
Prepare an 8×8 pan by lining it with parchment paper. Do a slight spray oil.
In a food processor add the first seven ingredients. Leave the diced up walnuts out. Blend until smooth.
The batter will be very thick. Pat the brownie batter into the pan with your fingers to get it evenly distributed. You can put a piece of parchment paper on top to make it press down easier.
Bake for 20 minutes.
BROWNIE ICING
1/3 cup organic butter flavored coconut oil
1/8 cup raw honey
1/3 cup organic carob powder (Terrasoul.com or Amazon) OR sub same amount with powdered cacao
1/3 cup organic carob chips (Aussie unsweetened carob chips. Amazon) OR same amount of dark chocolate chips (Davis Chocolate. 3 ingredient, Sweetened with coconut sugar
1 tsp organic tapioca flour
1 tsp vanilla
Melt the vegan butter in a saucepan. Add the raw honey, carob powder, carob chips and vanilla. Mix well with the heat on to melt the chips. With the heat still on you will lightly sprinkle the tapioca flour while continuously stirring so it thickens a bit more.
Spread all over the cooled brownies. Top with the walnuts. Refrigerate.
