Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.

Drain and rinse your black beans well — this matters, trust me.

Add beans, eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla to a blender or food processor.

Blend until completely smooth. No lumps allowed.

Add cacao powder, baking powder, and salt. Pulse again until combined.

Pour the batter into your pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Sprinkle chocolate chips or walnuts on top if you’re feeling generous.

Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the center is just set but still slightly soft.

Let them cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
