This is my go-to chocolate treat for my kids and their friends when they have play dates (and the mums often indulge too). It’s hard to believe black beans are the base of this chocolatey goodness, making them high in folate and a good source of iron and fibre
Ingredients
- 400 g canned black beans
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbs coconut oil
- 1/3 cup raw cacao powder
- 2 tbs carob powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tsp vanilla powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
Method
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 160 C. Grease a small square baking dish with coconut oil.
-
Step 2Place all the ingredients in a blender and process at a high speed until smooth.
-
Step 3Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
-
Step 4Place in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check after 25 minutes by sliding a knife into the brownie. If it comes away clean, the brownies are ready.
Recipe Notes
Can use vanilla powder or extract.
Serving and storage: Allow to cool before cutting into little squares. Serve with coconut cream and fresh strawberries for a dessert treat.
TIP: These brownies may be a treat, but they’re also a protein-packed addition to lunch boxes.
