Black Bean Brownies with Espresso Glaze

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.

In a blender or food processor, combine black beans, rolled oats, cocoa powder, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt.

Blend until completely smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed.

Stir in chocolate chips (if using).

Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.

Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.

Prepare the Espresso Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of strong brewed coffee, and milk until smooth. Add more coffee or milk, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Pour glaze over cooled brownies and spread evenly.

Cut into squares and serve.
