Description
Delicious and fudgy brownies made with black beans for a healthy twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 15 oz can black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup cocoa powder (or raw cacao powder)
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup chopped raw walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
- Place beans, eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and vanilla in the bowl of a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
- Remove the blade and gently stir in your chocolate chips and walnuts, if using. Another option is to sprinkle the walnuts on top of the brownie batter once you pour it into the pan.

- Cool completely, cut into squares, and enjoy!
Notes
- These brownies are a great guilt-free dessert that packs a punch of protein and fiber from the black beans.
- Feel free to add your favorite nuts or top with some nut butter for extra richness.
