These fudgy black bean brownies are the perfect alternative for those looking to treat themselves while following a gluten-free diet and dairy-free diet. Plus, we use wholesome ingredients so your snacking is guilt-free.
This recipe makes 12 brownies.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1 30oz can of organic black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup creamy raw almond butter (We used Nuts To You almond butter)
- 12 tablespoons of raw cacao powder
- 4 tablespoons of ground flax seeds
- 4 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of cocout sugar
- 4 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar (We used Filsinger's) - Helps the brownies rise
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt
- 1 tsp of baking soda (Jo Anne's Bulk)
- 1.5 cups of dark chocolate chips (Enjoy Life)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
- Add oat flour, black beans, almond butter, cacao powder, ground flax, vanilla, sugar, vinegar, salt, and baking soda to a food processor or blender. Process on low until a very smooth and thick batter is formed, stopping to scrape down the sides at least once to make sure everything is mixed evenly.
- Add 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips to the batter, and pulse briefly to mix them in. If using a blender, just stir in.
- Transfer batter into lined baking dish. The batter will be rather thick, so you'll need to use a spatula to spread it evenly into the pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top, and press them lightly into the batter.
- Bake until the top begins to crack and the center feels relatively firm to a light touch, about 30 minutes. Allow the brownies to cool completely before attempting to cut them into squares as they are fragile when warm.
- We let ours cool for at least 2 hours. Serve at room temperature and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week!
