Fudgy Black Bean–Avocado Brownies
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with 1 tablespoon coconut oil.

  2. 2

    Stir the water and flaxseed meal together in a small bowl to make a "flax egg"; let it sit to thicken for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the flax egg, black beans, coconut sugar, avocado, and 2 teaspoons coconut oil to a food processor and puree until combined. Add the cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder; blend until the batter is smooth, 3 to 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Transfer the batter to a large bowl and fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the baking dish and smooth the top.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cut into 16 bars and sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
