Ingredients for the Batter
- 510 g Red Kidney Beans (2 cans)
- 4 Free-range Eggs M
- 72 g Baking Cocoa (approx. 8 tbsp)
- 40 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil (approx. 4 tbsp)
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 4 tbsp Agave Syrup
Ingredients for the Glaze
- 100 g Dark Chocolate 70%
- 1 tsp Native Coconut Oil
Additionally required
- 1 piece Baking Paper
Preparation of the Batter
- 1Place the kidney beans in a sieve, rinse thoroughly with cold water, and drain well. Put them into a blender together with the olive oil and blend until a completely smooth mixture is formed.
- 2Add the eggs, baking cocoa, agave syrup, cinnamon, and baking powder to the bean mixture and mix everything well until a homogeneous batter is formed.
- 3Line a baking pan (ideally approx. 28 x 20 cm) with baking paper and spread the batter evenly in it. Bake in the preheated oven at 170 °C (top/bottom heat) for about 20 minutes. Let the cake cool completely afterwards.
Glaze and Finish
- 1Roughly chop the dark chocolate and melt it together with the coconut oil in a bain-marie or carefully in the microwave. Pour the liquid glaze evenly over the cooled brownies.
- 2Optionally sprinkle with some shredded coconut and let the brownies set in the refrigerator. Cut into squares before serving.
Tip
For a particularly intense aroma, you can add a pinch of sea salt to the batter. The brownies taste best when they have had a chance to set overnight in the refrigerator.

Ein kleiner Geheimtipp: Die Brownies schmecken am nächsten Tag, wenn sie im Kühlschrank gut durchziehen konnten, fast noch besser und sind herrlich kompakt!
