Critical Success Points

  • Properly draining and rinsing beans (especially black beans) and reserving aquafaba.
  • Achieving the correct dough consistency (not too wet or dry) when pulsing ingredients.
  • Not overbaking; bars should be just set.
  • Letting bars cool before slicing to prevent crumbling.

Safety Warnings

  • Check dates for pits before blending to avoid damaging food processor.
  • Be careful when handling hot pans after baking.
  • If using a food processor, do not run continuously if motor strains or smokes—pulse in intervals and scrape down sides.
