Why Choose Black Bean Brownies?
Black beans might seem like an unusual ingredient for a dessert, but they provide a dense, fudgy texture while also adding protein and fiber. This makes them not only a tasty treat but also a nutritious option for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups black beans (1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed well)
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 cup oats
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
Blend Ingredients: Combine all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in chocolate chips, then pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, then let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
Serve: For extra fudginess, refrigerate overnight before serving.
