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.
