The Magic Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch pan with parchment paper.
Drain and rinse your black beans extremely well – this is crucial for texture and taste!
In a food processor, combine all ingredients except chocolate chips.
Blend until impossibly smooth – seriously, keep going until you can't see a single bean speck.
Fold in ½ cup chocolate chips by hand.
Pour into your prepared pan and sprinkle remaining chips on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
