These Healthy Black Bean Brownies Taste AMAZING

Your bean queen has returned with another healthy delicious dessert made with beans. We're doing black bean brownies today and they are my best brownie yet. I have been perfecting them for years and these are by far the fudgiest, the ooey gooey-est, the the most browniest brownies you will ever eat and they taste way more indulgent than they really are because they're made with all whole plant foods and you are seriously going to love them. Good luck not eating the whole tray in one go. I love turning beans into desserts and other things like chickpea blondies, lentil waffles, omelettes, pizza crusts, and more so if you love healthy high-protein plant-based recipes and haven't joined the fam yet, do that right here. Subscribe below and let's get into these delicious healthy black bean brownies that are made in one bowl. Okay so first things first, you're gonna need to grab yourself a food processor. Using a food processor just makes these so much easier because you throw it all in one bowl, you hit blend, and you got brownie batter. That easy. Now these are a black bean brownie recipe so naturally we need some black beans. I'm just using the canned variety. This is a roughly 19 ounce can or about two cups so if you want to cook your own beans from scratch, you do that. Just use two cups for this recipe straight into the bowl of your food processor. These are our main source of protein and fiber for these brownies and oh my god they add the most amazing fudgy squidgy factor and you will not taste them. Guaranteed. Next we've got some medjool dates. These kind are like super plump, they're juicy, they're caramelly, and they add also amazing really fudgy texture and they add some natural sweetness. For more sweetness we're going to add a quarter cup plus two tablespoons of maple syrup. You can also use date syrup if you want. For extra richness and deliciousness we're going to add a quarter cup of tahini which is sesame seed paste. Next goes in two flax eggs which is basically just two tablespoons of ground flaxseed and five tablespoons of water. Mix together until you have a nice thick gelatinous plant-based egg mixture. A teaspoon of vanilla and then for the dry ingredients we've got some raw cacao powder. I've got six tablespoons or a quarter cup plus two tablespoons. Make sure you sift it before it goes in to prevent any lumps and clumps from not blending properly. If you don't have raw cacao just use cocoa. Next we've got a quarter cup of some chocolate plant-based protein powder. The brand that I love using is Compliment. I love their chocolate flavor and I just love their protein powders in general. They're super clean. All the ingredients are literally right on the front here so if you're looking for a healthy plant-based protein powder to try out I highly recommend you check them out in the description box below and I've got a sweet little discount code for you to boot. And then we've got just some you know good old baking essentials like salt, baking powder, baking soda. Those are pretty much all whole foods like there's like nothing in there that I'm like questionable. Nothing. That's why I love these brownies so much. Okay lid on. Party on. Now all we gotta do is just blend on high speed until we have a really nice thick brownie batter and it should look something like this. So thick it's like it won't even come off the spatula. That's exactly the type of thickness and and fudginess we are going for. Like come on people look at that. You could absolutely just eat this on its own. You don't even have to bake it. Just take out the baking powder and baking soda. Oh so good. Alright I'm just sad I'm not making brownies anymore. I'm just gonna eat this. Bye. Kidding. I wouldn't do that to you. I would. Alright so next I've got half a cup of some semi-sweet chocolate chips. These are vegan. If you want to you know use some that are sugar-free or sweetened with coconut sugar you totally can but we're just going to stir them into the batter here reserving some for topping because you know we want to make her look fancy and then just stir them in with a spatula and try not to eat all the batter while you're doing this. You saw nothing. Grab yourself a 9x9 or an 8x8 baking tin or whatever and some parchment paper. Now what I like to do is actually crumple it all up like this into a ball because it actually makes working with it a lot easier and it becomes a lot more like pliable bendable. It's easier than like trying to fold all these nice pretty creases in it. It's just yeah this works better. Now you can press it into the bottom and kind of just shove it in the corners there and I find it stays just fine. It doesn't have to be perfect. And now just scoop all of your batter right inside of the tin. It is oh my god it's so thick. Look at that. And then just do your best to smooth it into an even layer. This will take a minute or two because she's thick. I don't know what it is but there's something so satisfying about smoothing things into even layers. I don't know what it is but it does things to my brain. Let me know in the comments if you are like me. Oop oven's preheated. Now I like to top my brownies with really like any kind of chopped nut. Today I'm gonna do some chopped peanuts because that's what I have and I just feel like this is gonna be epic and it'll look really pretty. And of course those extra chocolate chips because if we're not completely encrusted in nuts and chocolate chips we aren't making brownies. We're gonna pop this in a 900 900 degrees. Where am I? A 350 fahrenheit degree oven. I think that would burn my house down. We're gonna bake them for 25 to 30 minutes. Basically just until we're looking a little bit crackly on top and when they come out of the oven they are going to look very undercooked. Rather if you were to insert a toothpick it's gonna come out basically not cooked. While you're baking your brownies in your 900 degree fahrenheit oven you can go ahead finish the brownie batter in your bowl but also subscribe below to Steamy Vegan.
