I hope you enjoy my yummy healthy snack, perfect for quarantine! They aren’t just regular brownies, because we all know, those pile on the fat. These are Flower-less, Fat Burning Brownies!!
Ingredients
1 cup canned and cooked black beans, drained and rinsed.
(I use organic canned black beans)
2 medium eggs
1 tbsp +- 2 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp pure cocoa powder
½ cup (about 10-15) dates, soaked for 1 hr, then chopped
½ tsp apple cider vinegar
⅛ tsp sea salt
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
2-4 tbsp dark chocolate chips
½ cup chopped hazelnuts, (any will do).
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F
Drain and rinse the black beans well
Add all ingredients (except for chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts) in a blender and blend until smooth
Slowly stir in chocolate chips and hazelnuts, or (any other nuts)
Pour batter into a rectangular baking pan that has been brushed with coconut oil, or olive oil and lined with parchment paper
Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes, do not overcook
Brownies are ready when an inserted toothpick comes out clean
Allow to cool and then cut into squares

Have you tried flour-less black bean brownies before?
this sounds really good – will have to give it a try!
They are really good, Doc, and really easy to make. It’s been a mainstay in my life for many years and one of my favorite recipes. Any plain, unsalted nuts are just fine, I use hazelnuts because I love their nutty flavor.
i love walnuts – thanks will give this a try!!!
Looks delicious but I was wondering why we need vinegar!
Grace, I have tried it without the half teaspoon of vinegar, and I kept missing that subtle slight hint of tartiness of my mom’s recipe. Try them both. My wife just reminded me, when we once used lime juice instead and it was great, too.
I know there are weird combinations that taste great.
I am very excited to try this. All I have is avacodo oil. Do you think that will work as well?
I’m an avo-nut! I can eat them every day. I have tried peanut oil which was okay too. Why not try avo-oil? It may be just fine, I’m going to try that too, next time. The other ingredients magically disguise the black bean-paste so effectively, you won’t miss the flower.
