Directions:


Make the Brownie Layer:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F
  2. Grease a large pan
  3. Combine the 2TBS of flax seed with 6TBS of hot water and set aside for 5 minutes. The mixture will become thick after it sits. This is your flax egg.
  4. Drain and rinse the black beans and set aside.
  5. Combine the flour, coco powder, sugar, baking powder, coffee, and salt together.
  6. After the flax egg has become thick add the black beans, vanilla, almond milk, and vegetable oil together and blend in a food processor for 1 minute until combined. You may have to scrape down the sides and continue processing to make sure everything is blended.
  7. Add the black bean mixture to the dry ingredients and mix for 1-2 minutes until combined. Do not over mix. If you need to add a little bit of water due to the thickness of the mixture, feel free.
  8. Set aside and make the cookie layer


Make the Cookie Layer

  1. Add the brown sugar, sugar, and butter, to a mixer and beat them together until creamy. About 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add almond milk and vanilla. Mix for 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, add the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and mix together.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined. Do not over mix.
  5. Add chocolate morsels and mix until combined.


Combining the layers

  1. Grease a 9x13 baking dish
  2. Add the cookie layer to the dish as the bottom layer, spreading evenly.
  3. Add the Oreos over the cookie layer
  4. Add the black bean brownies mixture on top
  5. Place in oven for 35-40 minutes
  6. Test the brownies with a toothpick or a knife prior to removing. Whichever you use should be clean upon removal. That's how you know they are done!
  7. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes prior to cutting/serving
  8. ENJOY!
