Recipe from Forks Over Knives 😋

So, was I skeptical, with a name like that? Pfft.
Am I blown away? YES! Super rich. Fudgy. Decadent.

What the?! What kitchen witchery is this?
Healthy? Yes, don’t tell anyone! Gluten-free, no oil, no dairy, no eggs!
Plus with my baking skills (laughable), the recipe was simple. I can do this, plus it’s chocolate 🍫

Ingredients

🌱 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed (or 1½ cups cooked)

~ I had to cook some up.

~ 1 lb dry blackbeans, water, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Bring to boil, simmering until tender. Drain & cool.

🌱 1 cup pure date syrup

~ OH crap, I didn’t have this either, but I did have Medjool dates.

~ Chopped 1 cup dates, 1 cup water, bring to boil, simmered 30 min. Cool & blend until smooth. (Did this same time as cooking the beans)

🌱 ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder ~ YAY! I have organic Cacao powder

🌱 ¾ cup rolled oats ~

~ First batch, it was good.

~ 2nd batch I swapped to Oat Flour. More cake-like.

🌱 1 teaspoon baking powder

🌱 ½ teaspoon baking soda

🌱Unsalted pistachio nuts, finely chopped (optional) ~ I prefer walnuts, yet kept separate for nut allergies

🌱Vegan semisweet chocolate pieces (optional) ~ Since when are chocolate pieces optional?! Guittard Extra Dark chocolate chips

2nd batch only took about 10min to mix up, 35 min to bake. Easy Peasy!
