Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon water, if needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- Add the black beans, eggs, rolled oats, olive oil, baking powder, garlic powder and salt to a blender or food processor.
- Process until you have a thick, even batter. Add a tablespoon of water only if needed to help it blend.
- Transfer the batter to a bowl and fold in the cheddar, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the center is firm and a toothpick comes out without wet batter.
- Let the loaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a rack. Allow it to cool fully before slicing so it holds together better.
