- 258 g black beans canned, drained
- 70 g cacao powder
- 80 g dates
- 10 g milled flaxseed
- 4 g baking powder
- 180 g milk i used plant-based

- 60 g pure peanut butter

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (fan) or 340°F. Line a square baking tin with parchment paper.
- Blend all ingredients (except for the optional chocolate chips) in a high-speed blender or food processor until smooth and well combined. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides depending on how powerful your blender/food processor is.
- Fold in chocolate chips if using, and give the mixture a final stir with a spatula.
- Pour the batter into your lined baking tin and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the tin for 10–15 minutes before slicing. The brownies will firm up more as they cool.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze in individual portions.
- These brownies are rich and fudgy — perfect as a snack, dessert, or even a luteal phase treat when you're craving chocolate but want to support your hormones too.
- These brownies are perfect for fertility as you can alternate the nuts/seeds you use depending on the time of your cycle.
