Don’t knock it until you try it! ✅ As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve had a lot of requests for dessert recipes lately, so here’s another! I know that black beans in brownies sounds odd, but you can’t taste them at all! This is a great way to get a little fiber and protein from a dessert that usually doesn’t contain much of either ♀️
As I was trying to take the pictures, you can see there was a little thief trying to steal one for herself! (don’t worry, I didn’t let her get too close)
Servings: 16 (1 serving = 1 brownie)
Calories per serving: 120
Protein per serving: 4.5 g
Carbs per serving: 16 g (3 g fiber)
Ingredients:
15-oz can black beans (rinsed and drained)
3 eggs
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 scoop chocolate protein powder (I used Unjury brand)
⅔ cup sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Pulse black beans in a food processor (or blender). Then add to a bowl with eggs, oil, and vanilla and whisk.
2. Add cocoa powder, protein powder, sugar, baking powder, and chocolate chips to bowl and whisk! *Its always smart to add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients for more even mixing*
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8x8 pan with oil spray and pour in batter and place in oven. Cook for 40 mins
4. Remove from oven and let cool. Then slice into 16ths and enjoy!
