Fudgy Black Bean Brownies

I LOVE chocolate (well, who doesn’t?), but I’ve never been a big fan of brownies. Until now. These black bean brownies are so dreamy! If you haven’t tried black bean brownies yet, this is your sign to get cooking. I know they sound weird, but they are surprisingly delicious.

These vegan brownies have a rich, deep chocolate flavor and a gooey, fudgy texture. Better yet, they are made with wholesome ingredients like black beans, pecans, coffee and cacao powder. Ground toasted pecans give these brownies a delicious nutty flavor. I also added coffee, because it intensifies the chocolate flavor. If you don’t like coffee, don’t worry, you are not going to taste it. And if you don’t drink caffeine, you can use decaf, though you should know there’s also caffeine in chocolate. Alternatively, you could substitute the coffee for plant-based milk, but that is going to alter the flavor a bit.

These fudgy brownies are made in a food processor. They couldn’t be any easier and they are so decadent. Nobody is going to know this chocolatey treat is made with black beans. There are also nuts in these, so they are not only delicious, but they are super nutritious and high in plant-based protein, fiber and healthy fats.

No flour, no refined sugar, no grains, no dairy, no eggs. These black bean brownies are a mixture of simple, real ingredients; and the result tastes like a luxurious dessert. Try topping them with vegan vanilla ice cream (or nice cream) and caramel sauce for an insanely delicious dessert.
