If you think black beans are just for tacos then you’re wrong! They work beautifully in this recipe and serve as a flour substitution making them gluten-free. They have a little denser texture than a regular brownie, but the chocolate covers the bean flavor and I bet you could serve them to your family and they would never guess the secret ingredient. In fact, this is what my 3-year-old said while eating them, “I like these. I love brownies. I’m proud of you for making me these brownies.” 🙂
Black Bean Brownies
(Adapted from Hip2Save)
1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
3 eggs
3 tbsp oil (I used coconut)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
pinch of salt
2/3 cup chocolate chips
Step 1: Process beans in high power blender or food processor until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Add the rest of the ingredients, except the chocolate chips and process until smooth.
Step 3: Pour batter into greased 8×8 pan and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
Step 4: Bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until knife comes out clean.
Step 5: Let cool completely before serving.
Have you ever tried any desserts with beans or other strange ingredients in them? I’d love to know!
