  • Author: maya
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 9 brownies
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Description

These Fudgy Black Bean Brownies are a secretly healthy and incredibly delicious dessert! Packed with protein and fiber from black beans, they’re naturally gluten-free and have a rich, chocolatey flavor that will satisfy any sweet craving. You’d never guess the secret ingredient!

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained very well

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

  2. Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the rinsed and drained black beans, eggs, cocoa powder, sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. There should be no bean chunks remaining.

  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

  5. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

  6. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Be careful not to overbake.

  7. Cool Completely: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.

  8. Cut and Serve: Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Variations: Add a tablespoon of espresso powder for a deeper chocolate flavor. You can also add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture. Swirl peanut butter or cream cheese into the batter before baking.

Tips: Rinsing and draining the black beans thoroughly is essential to remove any beany flavor. Use a high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor. Do not overbake the brownies, as they will become dry.

Allergies/Intolerances: This recipe is naturally gluten-free. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free chocolate chips. Be mindful of nut allergies when using walnuts or pecans.

Taste Preferences: Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or add a tablespoon of brown butter.
