Deliciously Surprising: Black Bean Brownies for a Healthier Sweet Treat

Today’s Unique Dessert Creation: Black Bean Brownies

As the weather starts to cool down and the holidays approach, I find myself craving warm, comforting desserts. Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that might sound unusual at first, but trust me, these Black Bean Brownies are absolutely delicious and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth in a healthier way.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• canned black beans (drained and rinsed) – 400g
• maple syrup – 100g
• unsweetened cocoa powder – 50g
• coconut oil (melted) – 50g
• eggs – 2
• vanilla extract – 1 tsp
• baking powder – 1 tsp
• salt – 1/2 tsp
• chocolate chips – 100g

To make these unique Black Bean Brownies, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a food processor, combine the black beans, maple syrup, cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Once the batter is ready, stir in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the brownies are set.

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. These Black Bean Brownies are rich, fudgy, and have a deliciously unique flavor that will surprise and delight your taste buds.

Don’t be afraid to get creative with your toppings – a sprinkle of sea salt, a dollop of whipped coconut cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce would all be wonderful additions to these brownies.
