Black Bean Brownies

18 November 2018 by Kerrie @ Family Food and Travel 73 Comments

Kerrie @ Family Food and Travel
18 November 2018 | UPDATED ON: 21 November 2018

Brownies and ice cream is one of my favorite desserts. The combination of flavors in these rich, dense black bean brownies is absolutely the best with ice cream or a tall glass of milk.

Unlike the brownies you usually make, these black bean brownies are packed with fiber, protein and sweetened with dates and applesauce.

They are healthy brownies that everyone will love!

The magic of brownies for me is that they feel like the perfect combination of fudge and cake. Great on their own, perfect with a caramel drizzle and always fantastic with ice cream. Plus, you can enjoy them any time of year and any holiday or family gathering.

I love that this recipe for black bean brownies is gluten-free, has almost no added sugar and the addition of parchment paper means the pan is easier to clean than the blender. We made these in the Fresh and Furious Blender.

We’ve topped our brownie recipe with chocolate chips but you can modify to sprinkle marshmallows, Skor bits, white chocolate or caramel chips as the topping. All will add a hint of flavor and prevent a flat brownie top.

Black Bean Brownies with Chocolate Chips

Our black bean brownies are made in a high power blender so there is only the blender jar to wash!

Easy to make, delicious and healthy too? The perfect combination for the best black bean brownie recipe.

A delicious recipe for moist brownies made without sugar and flour. Sweetened with dates and applesauce. 

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: black bean, brownie, chocolate, date, square
Servings: 16 brownies
Calories: 100 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1 can black beans (16 oz) rinsed
  • 2 eggs
  • 11 Medjool dates pitted
  • 1/2 cup applesauce unsweetened
  • 1 tsp espresso powder (or 1/2 tsp ground espresso)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Line 9 x 9 dish with parchment paper

  3. In the blender add beans, eggs, dates, applesauce, espresso powder, vanilla, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

  4. Mix until fully blended and smooth.

  5. Add 1/4 cup chocolate chips and mix.

  6. Pour batter into dish ensuring it's level.

  7. Sprinkle 1/4 cup chocolate chips over the top and bake for 35 minutes.

  8. Remove from oven and let cool on stove top.

  9. Once slightly cooled, lift out by parchment paper and place on wire cooling rack.

  10. Cool completely then cut into squares.

If you have any difficulty getting the blender to mix the batter (it’s quite thick) pulse the blender a few times and then once it’s started to mix it will blend smoothly. Make sure you have a spatula handy to scrape out every last drop of batter for the pan. You won’t want to waste a single drop of these amazing brownies. Flourless Black Bean Brownies

Not interested in having any kind of sugar in the mix? Omit the chocolate chips and you have flourless black bean brownies with no artificial sugar = the healthiest brownie recipe that your family will love.

My boys give this recipe four thumbs up!

    These sound incredible. I’ll havd to try this recipe. I was st a karate grading several months ago and someone was talking about making brownies or cookies with black beans and I thought it sounded really curious and odd. Love the alternatives to flour right now and no sugar either !!! Wow! Sounds super healthy,

    I would love to know how close to a normal brownie they taste? We LOVE brownies! I am having a hard time imagining that black beans can make anything good (but then that would be why my doctor is telling me it is imperative I start losing weight). If I win the blender though I will definately try it. I don’t think my magic bullet would do the trick, lol.

    Wow, i would have never thought of adding black beans to brownies but what a creative idea and adding beans would make them healthier and more filling

    The recipe calls for 1 TABLESPOON of vanilla. Is that correct? I’ve seen another recipe essentially identical to this one calling for 1 TEASPOON of vanilla. A tablespoon seems like a lot. Is that correct?

    Thanks
