Delicious and nutritious brownies made with black beans, offering a rich chocolate flavor while packing in protein and fiber.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup nut butter (almond or peanut)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Blend in a food processor the black beans, eggs, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, nut butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add chocolate chips to the batter and stir them in with a spatula.
  4. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing and cutting into squares.

Notes

Ensure to rinse black beans well before use. Check baking time to avoid overbaking.
