Gobbytraveller’s Healthy Chocolate Brownies

If I told you these brownies contained black beans, you would not believe it! These brownies are low fat and high in fibre and protein. With this recipe, cheat day does not have to be a cheat day at all!

Ingredients: 

  • 1 can black beans
  • 1/4 cup plain flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp oil (any neutral oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of good quality chocolate (coarsely chopped)

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

2. Drain black beans and rinse. Place in a food processor and blend until its a smooth paste. Place the black bean paste into a large bowl, add egg, oil and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined.

3. In separate bowl bowl, add flour, cocoa powder, sugar and baking soda. Mix thoroughly.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the black bean mixture. Add coarsely chopped chocolate and mix thoroughly.

5. Grease a baking tray then line with baking paper. Bake for approximately 30 minutes. The edges should be visibly cooked. If the toothpick test comes out a little bit gooey, that is fine).

6. Allow the brownies to cool then serve.
