This easy flourless skillet brownie is rich, fudgy, and decadent but it’s made with lots of good-for-you-ingredients. Avocado provides healthy fats, and black beans add fiber – but no one will know they’re there because all they’ll taste is delicious dark chocolate. Serve topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and cold milk to drink.

Start cooking

Serves: 4

|
3/4 cup unsalted black beans (about half 15-oz.can), drained and rinsed very well 2 large eggs 1 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, seeded, peeled and diced 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tsp. instant coffee mixed with 2 tablespoons water (or 2 tablespoons coffee) 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. vanilla 1/3 cup milk chocolate chips*
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and set the rack to the middle position. Grease a small 6-8” skillet (cast iron is great).
  2. Combine all of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips in a blender and blend for about 1 minute or until smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed. The mixture should look like pudding. Alternatively, you can use a food processor, but you may need to scrape it down more frequently.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet.
  4. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the batter and with a spatula gently swirl them into the batter.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean. You may need to insert the toothpick into a few spots in the event you land in a melted chocolate chip.
  6. Let cool for 30 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestion: If desired, top the warm brownie with ice cream.

Beverage Pairing: cold milk.
