Ingredients
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 (15-ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed (such as Great Northern)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup brown rice flour
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons ground golden flaxseeds
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¾ cup chocolate chips, divided
- ¼ cup toasted and chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°, and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
- In a food processor, pulse sugar to refine the texture to a smaller grain. Add the beans and eggs, and blend for a few seconds. Add rice flour, peanut butter, melted coconut oil, vanilla, baking powder, ground flaxseeds and salt. Blend until very smooth, about 2–3 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, mix in ½ cup chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish, and spread evenly. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips and pecans.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the top of the batter is dry and starts to pull away from the sides (or when a toothpick comes out clean). Remove from oven, and let cool for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
