Black Bean Brownies

My mom always told me, "Todd, make sure you eat all your beans." I wish she had been referring to these brownies. If you're looking to take your brownies to the next level, try this simple twist: substitute flour with black beans!

Ingredients:

1 x 15oz can low-sodium black beans

1/4 cup Almond flour

1/2 cup organic cocoa powder

1/2 cup coconut sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 Tbsp avocado oil

2 Tbsp plant milk

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 flaxseed eggs 

3/4 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 360 degrees Fahrenheit

Instructions:

Step 1

Prepare the flaxseed eggs by combining 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons of water. Set aside for 10-15 minutes

Step 2

Rinse and drain the black beans and preheat oven to 360 degrees Fahrenheit

Step 3

Add black beans, almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, brown sugar, oil, plant milk, apple cider vinegar, baking powder, baking soda, and flaxseed eggs to a food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape and remove the blades from the food processor

Step 4

Add half of the chocolate chips to the brownie mix. Stir to combine. Add the mix to a parchment paper-lined 8x8 pan. Top with the rest of the chocolate chips

Step 5

Bake for 35 - 38 minutes at 360 degrees Fahrenheit (bake time for sea level). Allow brownies to cool in the pan, then enjoy!
