Bodacious Black Bean Brownies *vegan & gf image

Picked this little recipe up from the new health food store in town and let me tell ya, they are delicious ! I am a chocholic and these brownies satisfies my chocolate cravings perfectly. I made these gluten free & vegan, but you can use real eggs in place of the flax eggs, if you prefer. You can have these plain, topped with...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 c black beans,well drained (or 1, 15 oz can)
3/4 c cocoa powder
3/4 c raw or cane sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 large flax eggs (you can use real eggs, but it will no longer be vegan)
3 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 tsp real vanilla extract
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 small bag crushed walnuts
TO MAKE FLAX EGG MIXTURE
2 1/2 Tbsp ground flax seed
6 Tbsp water

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease regular sized (12) cupcake pan. *Do not use liners
  • 2. Add flax and water into food processor and give it a few pulses. Set aside for a couple of minutes. * If using real eggs omit this step.
  • 3. Now, Combine all the ingredients (except walnuts and other toppings) into food processor and puree about 3 minutes. Scrape down sides as needed. You want it smooth. If too thick add a couple more tablespoons water. (I had to add about 3 Tbsp more). You do NOT want a runny batter. It will be like a thick pancake batter, almost as thick box mix brownies.
  • 4. Distribute evenly into cupcake pan. Bang onto countertop to even up tops. Sprinkle a little walnuts on tops and bake 20 - 30 minutes or until edges pull away slightly and the edges are dry. (mine took about 35 minutes) The middle will be a little on the soft side. Let set in pan 30 minutes before removing from pan. Otherwise they will fall apart. Store in an airtight container for a few days or refrigerate if keeping longer. Believe me, they won't hang around long enough to go into the fridge ! ;)

These brownies are a great way to use up leftover black beans. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

The flavor of these brownies is amazing! The black beans add a subtle sweetness and earthiness that really complements the chocolate.

I was a bit skeptical about these brownies at first, but I'm so glad I tried them! They're so rich and chocolatey, I can't believe they're vegan and gluten-free.

These brownies are so delicious, I can't believe they're healthy too! I love that they're made with black beans, which gives them a boost of protein and fiber.

The texture of these brownies is perfect - chewy and fudgy, just like I like them.
