Instructions
Prepare the Kidney Beans

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Honey Oat Bean Brownies
- For an extra intense chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
- If your oats are not finely milled, consider pulsing them briefly in a food processor before adding to the batter for a smoother texture.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough brownies. Mix only until the ingredients are just combined.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of strong brewed coffee or espresso to the wet ingredients.
