Oh chocolate brownies, who doesn't love the owe y-gooey goodness that melts in your mouth on the first and second bite...then it's all gone! Well I'm excited to share this recipe with you because it actually tastes really good...OK I will admit that I have posted some recipes a bit way out there but hey, if you don't try it at least once, our taste buds will never know. Who knew that Black beans and Chocolate would taste so good together and create a satisfying and moist brownie...here' what ya need...
Black beans, Cocoa Powder, Natural Peanut butter, ground Flax Seeds, baking soda, Vainille, Stevia, and dark chocolate. I will post complete recipe below to follow steps...
Place all ingredients in food processor EXCEPT peanut butter and chocolate chips, will add that at the end. Don't over do it in the food processor, once the mixture is all blended in about 1-2 minutes, scoope out into bowl...
I ended up adding about 1/4 water slowly just to loosen the mixture up a bit...
In a separate bowl add the peanut butter and chocolate chips, warm mixture up in microwave for about 20-30 seconds, just enough to soften up so you can mix it with the bean mixture. Hint...place chocolate chips in sealed baggie and pounds to break up into little pieces so that you will have more chocolate throughout your mixture.
I have learned now to pretty much line all pans with a sheet of parchment paper as it just makes life easier, and less messy. Once peanut butter mixture is softened, add to the bean mixture by stirring in with a spatula to create a marble effect...
Bake in oven for about 25-30 mins at 350 degrees...be careful not to make your edges to thin as they will be the first to dry out. I baked mine for 30 mins...and as you can see the edges are a bit brittle, but still moist, I suggest you bake for only 25 mins...
Do these not look so awesome! I handed them out last night to my Boot Camp class and they were a hit! These are made with dark chocolate so don't expect them to be super sweet, BUT they are sweet enough with a hint of peanut butter. And the best thing is, as I ate one this morning with my cup of coffee, the dark chocolate takes care of your sugar cravings and satisfies it so your not left wanting more! I cut the recipe up into 20 piece servings so that is what the nutritional values are based on, enjoy!
