Ingredients
Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 645 g before cooking, which is about 80 g per serving.
Steps
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) in conventional mode. Prepare a baking pan or small baking dish measuring approximately 25 × 15 cm.
Line the pan with damp, thoroughly wrung-out parchment paper, pressing it against the bottom and sides. This will make it more flexible and easier to fit into the baking dish.
Place the cooked, drained cannellini beans, seed oil, maple syrup, oats, and unsweetened cocoa powder in a blender.
Blend for a few seconds, just long enough to obtain a smooth, soft batter. There is no need to process it any longer than necessary.
Add the dark chocolate and chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter. Stir with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle the top with the additional nuts and chocolate, if reserved, then finish with a few flakes of salt to taste.
Bake in the conventional oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for approximately 25 minutes. The brownies should be set around the edges but still soft and moist in the center.
Let cool slightly before removing from the pan and cutting into portions. Serve on their own or with a long coffee prepared using a French press.
Notes
The creator suggests serving the brownies with a 100% Arabica filter coffee, medium roast and moderate intensity, prepared in a French press: steep the coffee for approximately 5 minutes, then filter and serve. For cleaner cuts, let the brownies cool completely before slicing.
