Time 50m

Yield 6 brownies, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups cooked black beans, rinsed and drained (canned is fine)
1 cup medjool dates, pitted (about 20 large dates)
3 tablespoons oil or 3 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4-1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 extra-large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Generously grease 8" by 8" baking pan.
  • In food processor, place dates, 2 cups black beans, and oil or butter and puree until smooth.
  • Add baking soda, vanilla, and 1/4 cup cocoa powder and puree until completely smooth.
  • Taste and add additional cocoa powder, one tablespoon at a time, pureeing and taste testing after each addition, as desired. Taste testing is necessary because dates often vary in sweetness. (I use 1/2 cup cocoa powder because I prefer my brownies to taste like dark chocolate.) Mixture should taste deeply fudgy and chocolaty and not taste like black beans, dates, or overly sweet. Mixture should taste like rich dark chocolate but not bitter. Allow food processor to blend for 3 to 5 minutes without stop to emulsify.
  • Pour batter into deep bowl. Add eggs and combine with electric mixer.
  • Pour batter into greased baking pan. Bake until slightly firm on top and edges pull away from the sides of the pan for 30 minutes.
  • Allow to cool slightly and cut into 6 pieces. Eat while warm. Store in refrigerator or freeze. Brownies are still delicious when they are eaten slightly cold.

These brownies were delicious! They were moist and chocolatey, and the black beans added a nice depth of flavor. I will definitely be making these again!

I'm not sure how I feel about these brownies. They're definitely unique, but I'm not sure if I like the black bean flavor. I think I'll have to try them again to decide.

These brownies were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some extra oil or butter next time.

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They're a great way to get kids to eat black beans!

I'm not a huge fan of black beans, but these brownies were surprisingly good! The black beans added a nice texture and the brownies were very chocolatey. I would definitely make these again.

These brownies were easy to make and turned out great! I used a food processor to blend the black beans and dates, which made the batter smooth and creamy. The brownies were fudgy and rich, and the perfect treat for a chocolate fix.
