If you have picky eaters at home, you might already know that black bean brownies are a secret weapon to getting your kiddos to eat more fiber and protein. If you didn’t know this, rejoice: The time has come for you to embrace a decadent, gooey brownie made with black beans. This recipe is a total winner. Made without dairy and gluten, these are a lighter version of the traditional brownie that’ll have your taste buds singing.<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Place the beans, 1\/4 cup of chocolate chips and the oil in a food processor, then cover it and process until blended. Add the eggs, brown sugar, cocoa, vanilla, baking powder and salt, then cover and process until smooth.<\/p>\n
Transfer this blend into a parchment-lined 8-inch square baking pan, then sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack, cut into bars and serve.<\/p>\n
You don’t need to put brownies in the fridge, but they will hold up for a few more days if you do. Either way, store your brownies in an airtight container, or cover in plastic wrap or tin foil. If they’re left out on the counter, consume them within three days. If they’re in the fridge, consume within five.<\/p>\n
Yes. Freezing black bean brownies for a rainy day is easy. Simply store them in an airtight, freezer-safe container or bag and consume them within three months.<\/p>\n
These are already gluten-free and dairy-free, but did you know you can also make them vegan? It’s true. Simply sub out the eggs<\/a> for a vegan version of these delicious chocolate squares. The choice is yours, but some good options include making a flaxseed egg (2 tablespoons flaxseed meal and 5 tablespoons water), or using applesauce or banana.<\/p>\n
A personal favorite way to serve these brownies is warmed, with a drizzle of salted caramel sauce<\/a> and vanilla ice cream<\/a> on top.<\/p>\n
Surprisingly, no. While the flavor profile does change, it’s mostly a more earthy flavored brownie as opposed to a purely sweet and chocolaty one. The black bean taste is complemented by the sugar and chocolate, so it’s not something you particularly notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Still, the notion intrigued me... So after looking at a bunch of Black bean brownie recipes I settled on this one. It came out perfect! I would call these \"adult brownies\" because they are very intensely chocolatey; for kids or people with more of a sweet tooth, maybe using milk chocolate chips or adding 1\/4 cup white sugar might work. Or plop a scoop of ice cream on them, or enjoy them without having to share! I can't get over the texture, it is very smooth, not dry, and yet not raw. Usually my brownies are either over- or under-done. And I still cannot believe there are beans in there and no flour. (I have no dietary restrictions, but I like the 'thrill' of hiding beans in brownies. I like food that tastes good, is easy to make, and doesn't need special equipment\/ingredients.) This recipe is a keeper. I will make it again, next time I need a chocolate fix. It is THAT good.

They smell like brownies and have some brownie taste to them but they DO have a lot of cocoa, sugar and chocolate chips in them. They are dense, and a small piece goes a long way. Suggest an ice cream or at the least a glass of milk with them. I've had other gluten-free desserts I enjoyed much more than this one.
