One of my favorite sweet treat recipes for a while now have been black bean brownies. These babies are DELISH, you literally cannot even tell there is beans in there, it's amazing! I add arbonne chocolate protein powder to increase the chocolatey taste and make the macros even better. Their product is the most delicious, smooth VEGAN protein powder I have ever had. Click here to purchase a bag of this amazing stuff! It's called arbonne essentials. Ps there's vanilla too!
Really, with all the healthy, whole ingredients in them it's hardly a cheat! Plus, there's no milk, eggs, or flour!
Guilt free protein rich black bean brownies!!
Maybe keep it a secret that there's beans in them until after your friends try and LOVE them haha.
Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 9-12 depending how small you cut pieces
Ingredients:
- 1 can of black beans (about 1-1.5 cups) rinsed well
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1- 2 scoops Arbonne Essentials chocolate protein powder
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or apple sauce
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of almond/soy/non-dairy milk add to create smooth batter consistency
Directions:
- preheat over to 350
- combine all ingredients to food processor (I use my ninja blender and works like a charm) and blend until smooth.
- pour into square 8x8 greased or lined pan (they will stick if you don't!)
- bake in oven 18-20 minutes
- refrigerate and enjoy!
Happy not-so-cheat meals ;)
