Black Bean Brownies

  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!
