There's somethings so special about developing a recipe that is both freaking delicious and healthy. It's like winning the lottery.
If you know me in real life (oh, well, also if you know me via<\/em> Instagram) you know BAKING is my passion. I have a huge love for traditional recipes (made with butter, sugar etc), but I also like changing ingredients, experimenting with new flavors and trying trendy recipes<\/strong>. And these are definitely trendy right now.
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce my black beans brownies vegan and gluten free<\/strong>, the most decadent & healthy brownies EVAH!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy brownies with black beans...and no flour?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Exactly, my friend. These bad boys do not contain flour at all <\/strong>and that means they're gluten free.
But there's more...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They're not just vegan (I also tested the non-vegan version though) and gluten free, they contain a \"secret\" ingredient: black beans!<\/strong>
Whenever I mention it, everyone face's like the emoji '😱'. \"How can black beans make such a delicious dessert?\"<\/em> they ask.
Well, easy-peasy: the legumes here just give the perfect fudgy<\/strong> and<\/strong> moist consistency. <\/strong>
Oh and let's talk about their flavor. I have two words to describe it: RICH & DEEP<\/strong>. They're seriously amazing, chocolatey and ...nope you can't taste the beans.
Now, they're not extremely sweet because of the amount of unsweetened cocoa powder (but I like bitter and so do some of my friends), therefore make sure to drizzle some<\/strong> 75% (or less) dark chocolate<\/strong> on top to add extra sweetness (or add a few extra grams of maple\/agave syrup or brown sugar). Another option? Put some chocolate chunks in the batter (after blending)!

Family and friends approved!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you're wondering if family and friends<\/strong>, knowing these were made with black beans, a weird ingredient for a dessert, approved.<\/strong> Yup, they did!
I must admit I'm always extremely happy when I make a recipe that please everyone's palate.
When I told them I used black beans (of course I made sure no one was allergic to legumes), they opened their eyes wide. lol <\/em>always so fun to see their reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make black beans brownies vegan and gluten free<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There's nothing easier than making this dessert. Can you believe you'll only need ...a food processor? That's it, ridiculously simple.
There's basically just one step toward the best black bean fudgy brownie:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Add all the ingredients to a food processor - in order: black beans, coffee (optional), cocoa powder, agave or maple syrup, a pinch of salt, coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking powder and the egg substitute (or eggs if not vegan) - and blend;<\/li>
  2. Bake at 175\u00b0C<\/li>
  3. Share with friends and family, tell 'em the secret ingredient and ENJOY!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    To make these delicious brownies I've used my favorite food processor (the above): CLICK<\/a><\/strong>. To be precise, I've used the bigger beaker.
