Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Oil an 8-inch cake pan well.
Place a fitted circle sheet of parchment paper in the bottom of the cake pan (to make this, I place the pan on the parchment paper, draw a circle around it, cut it out, and then place it inside the oiled pan).
After rinsing, dry your beans VERY WELL with a tea towel.
Add the beans and the rest of the ingredients (except for the chopped chocolate) to a food processor.
Process everything until it is smooth and well combined.
Pulse in the chocolate, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out to cover the bottom.
Top with a bit of chocolate.
Bake 35-40 minutes.
Cool, slice, and enjoy!
