Vegan Gluten Free Black Bean Brownies

Brownies made with black beans might sound quite unappealing to some of you, but I can assure you these are really delicious. No, I am not saying that they taste exactly like regular brownies, but still pretty delicious and nutritious as beans are a good source of protein and fiber. I used Happy Herbivore's recipe as inspiration, but slightly tweaked it by adding a little coconut oil and a mix of white and dark chocolate chips, but you can leave them out if you want to.

  • 280 g Cooked black beans, homemade or can
  • 2 Small bananas
  • 30 g Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 70 g Maple syrup
  • 20 g Coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 40 g Quick oats
  • 100 g A mix of white and dark chocolate chips
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line an 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside. Drain and rinse the cooked black beans.
  2. Combine all the ingredients, except the oats and chocolate chips, in a food processor and blend until completely smooth. Stir in oats and chocolate chips.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.

    I've yet to meet any brownie I didn't like and I like black beans and I have a feeling I would really enjoy these. It looks so moist and I like the contrast w/ the dark and white chocolate chips.

    I NEED to make these! I used baked beans in a quick bread that I absolutely flipped over and had 2 pieces right away. I think people underestimate the addition of beans to their baking; healthy way to get protein, especially with kids! XOXO

    Once again I will say "chocolate cures everything!" I love the addition of maple syrup. Does this add a hit of maple flavor as well?

    I never would have thought of making brownies with black beans, but knowing the natural sweetness of the beans, I can certainly see that it would work. Great idea and fabulous recipe! These look quite moist and chewy - the best kind!

    Angie, I love the banana, the maple syrup, and oats in this amazing brownie recipe. Had you not mention the addition of the black beans...no way that anyone could taste the difference. Just makes it more moist and give extra flavor and protein! Looks and tastes super declicious!

    Angie you come up with some of the most unusual recipes but I have to say I love the sound of these. Who cares about brownie calories with this recipe. You can be sure to eliminate whatever you've eaten, keep all the good nutrients while having enjoyed the great taste. (I know that must sound disgusting). These brownies definitely look moist. I have all the ingredients on hand and plan to try these later today. I can't wait to hear what my family thinks of these. Thanks for sharing.
