As a reformed Black Bean Brownie hater, these ones don't suck! They're high in protein, high in fiber and actually taste good!
Servings
Ingredients
- 15 oz Black Beans, no sodium canned (do not drain)
- 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup PBFit Peanut Butter Powder
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 cup Vital Wheat Gluten
- 1/2 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Mini Chocolate Chips I use Enjoy Life
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F (177 C).
- Add the black beans, including the liquid, to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
- Add blended bean mixture to a large bowl.
- Add in the brown sugar and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, add the cocoa powder, PBFit powder, vital wheat gluten, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Whisk together very well.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together well. I do this by hand with a spatula but you can also use a hand mixer.
- Add in the chocolate chips and mix well.
- Dump the brownie batter into a square baking dish (I like to spray with a little bit of oil so that the brownies don't stick).
- Bake for 30 - 35 minutes. I like to bake these a little less than what would result in the clean toothpick test because I like gooey brownies.
- Allow them to cool for at least 30 minutes or so and they will set up a bit more.
