Why Make This Recipe

Black Bean Brownies are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional brownies. Packed with protein and fiber from black beans, they offer a guilt-free treat that satisfies your sweet tooth. Plus, they are easy to make and can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of dietary restrictions. You won’t believe how creamy and chocolatey they taste!

How to Make Black Bean Brownies

Ingredients:

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
In a blender or food processor, combine the black beans, cocoa powder, maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth.
Stir in chocolate chips if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool before slicing into squares.

How to Serve Black Bean Brownies

These brownies are great on their own or topped with a scoop of ice cream. You can also serve them with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a special touch. Pair them with a glass of milk for a delightful dessert!

How to Store Black Bean Brownies

To keep your Black Bean Brownies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, place them in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months; just be sure to wrap them well.

Tips to Make Black Bean Brownies

Make sure to rinse the black beans well to remove any excess sodium.
If you don’t have maple syrup, honey or agave syrup can be used as a substitute.
For added flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter.
If you prefer a sweeter brownie, you can increase the amount of maple syrup.

Variation

You can easily customize these brownies. Add spices like cinnamon or cayenne for a unique twist. You can also swap the peanut butter for a seed butter if you have nut allergies.

FAQs

Can I taste the black beans in the brownies?
No, the black beans are blended until smooth and provide a rich texture without the taste.

Are these brownies gluten-free?
Yes, the ingredients are gluten-free, making them a great option for those with gluten sensitivities.

Can I use another type of bean?
While black beans work best for texture and flavor, you can try using other beans like white beans or chickpeas, but the taste may vary.
