Gluten Free Kidney Bean Brownies

These kidney bean brownies are perfect if you're looking for a healthy twist on the classic. They are super fudgy thanks to the kidney beans, grain-free and gluten-free. And in case you are wondering if they taste like beans, the answer is no. They actually taste like real brownies. The add of espresso powder gives these brownies even more intense chocolate flavour. Alternatively, use pure vanilla powder instead to provide a fully rounded flavour and enhance the sweetness.

 
  • 100 g Oat flakes
  • 130 g Coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 50 g Baking cocoa
  • 1 tsp Espresso powder
  • 2 can Kidney beans (drained weight: 240 g each)
  • 100 ml Coconut milk
  • 50 ml Coconut oil, melted and cool slightly
  • 100 g Applesauce
  • 100 g Lindt milk chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Lightly grease a 20 x 20cm brownie tin and line with baking parchment.
  2. Place the rolled oats in a blender and grind as finely as possible, then mix in a bowl with the coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, cocoa and espresso powder. Place the kidney beans in a sieve, rinse thoroughly under cold water and drain.
  3. Place the coconut milk, coconut oil and apple sauce in the blender. Add the drained beans and puree everything into a creamy mixture. Add the bean puree to the oat mix and mix everything quickly into a smooth batter. Fold in half of the chopped chocolate.
  4. Scrape the mixture into the tin with a spatula, level it and top with the remaining chocolate. Bake for 25 minutes until firm to the touch. Cool completey, then cut into squares. Will keep for a few days in a tin at room temperature, and 1 week in the fridge.

Now that title caught my eye. Interesting. I noticed you used some good chocolate. I wonder how they taste if you use some cheaper brands? Have a great weekend Angie.

I have a similar recipe but without the apple sauce, coconut milk which we don't have here. It is a nice recipe for us glufreers :) My problem with sweets is that I just do not use any kind of sugar, not even coconut or palm sugar, so that erased most of the recipes for me, sadly.

I haven't made it with beans yet. Sometimes I bake with beets.

I didn’t think that kidney beans and brownies even went together in the same sentence!
