Members of the program loved these Peanut Butter Black Bean Brownies so much that I just had to share the recipe with you!
These brownies are also packed with plant-based protein, coming in at over 6g per brownie. So if you eat 3 like me… you’re well on your way to meeting your daily protein recommendations LOL.
Thank you to everyone who has shared this black bean brownie recipe on on Instagram! I love seeing photos of the recipes you recreate!
The Recipe: Vegan Black Bean Peanut Butter Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 ½ Cups Black Beans , Rinsed
- 2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- ½ Cup Rolled Oats
- ¼ Tsp Salt
- ½ Cup Maple Syrup
- ¼ Cup All Natural Peanut Butter
- ½ Tsp Baking Powder
- ½ Cup Vegan Dark Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients except your chocolate chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely smooth. If you're using a blender - make sure it is blended VERY WELL.
- Stir in the chips, then pour into an 8x8 pan lined with parchment paper. Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top.
- Cook the black bean brownies for 15-18 minutes, then let cool for at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. These brownies will be very soft before firming up. If they still look a bit too undercooked, you can place them in the fridge overnight and they will magically harden! Makes 9-12 brownies.
