Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups black beans ((1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed very well) (250g after draining))
2 tbsp cocoa powder ((10g))
1/2 cup quick oats ((40g) (See nutrition link below for substitutions))
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup pure maple syrup, (honey, or agave (75g))
pinch uncut stevia OR 2 tbsp sugar ((or omit and increase maple syrup to 1/2 cup))
1/4 cup coconut or vegetable oil ((40g) (See nutrition link for substitution notes))
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips ((Not optional. Omit at your own risk))
optional: more chips, (for presentation)

Steps:

  • Black Bean Brownies Recipe: Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients except chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely smooth. Really blend well. (A blender can work if you absolutely must, but the texture-and even the taste-will be much better in a food processor. I use this food processor.) Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8x8 pan. Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top. Cook the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. If they still look a bit undercooked, you can place them in the fridge overnight and they will magically firm up! Makes 9-12 brownies. If you make this recipe, don't forget to leave a review! The trick with these: serve them first, and then reveal the secret ingredient. In all the times I've served bean desserts, not one single person who didn't know beforehand has ever guessed!View Black Bean Brownies Nutrition Facts

BROWNIE MIX-BLACK BEAN BROWNIES



Brownie Mix-Black Bean Brownies image

You won't believe how chocolate-y and moist these brownies are. I like to make them in mini muffin cups with mini foil cupcake liners. Dust them with powdered sugar and you have a decadent treat with the benefit of more protein, more fiber, and fewer fat calories.
