I know what you’re thinking. “Why would I want to eat a healthy brownie when I could be eating a deep, dark, rich, fudgy, and chocolatey brownie instead?” But what if the deep, dark, rich, chocolate brownie is the healthy brownie?
Ingredients:
● 11.5-oz can black beans, drained and rinsed well
● 2tbsp cocoa powder
● 1/2cup Protein Nutrition Powder- pick your flavor
● 1/4tsp salt
● 1/3cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
● 1/4cup coconut oil- soft or melted
● 2tsp pure vanilla extract
● 1/2tsp baking powder
● 1/2cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips
Assembly: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients except chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely smooth. Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8×8 pan. Cook the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool for at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. If they still look a bit undercooked, just wait. These seem to be better hours later or next day.
Makes 9-12 brownies.
If you make this recipe, remember to post and tag me! The trick with these: serve them first, and then reveal the secret ingredient. In all the times I’ve shared these, not a single person who didn’t know beforehand has ever guessed it was made with BEANS
Enjoy
