Time 1h5m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
One 15.5-ounce can low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/4 cups cocoa powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and move a rack to the middle of the oven. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine 1/2 cup water and the beans in a blender or food processor and blend until the mixture resembles the consistency of a grainy chocolate pudding. Add the cocoa powder, sugar, oil, vanilla, salt and eggs, and blend until smooth. Scrape out the batter into a large mixing bowl.
  • Use a double boiler to melt 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips or place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway through. Stir the melted chocolate into the black bean mixture and add the remaining chocolate chips. Mix until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the edges separate from the pan slightly, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Cool for 10 minutes, then sift the confectioners' sugar over the top and cut into sixteen 2-inch squares to serve.

Tips:

  • Use almond flour and coconut flour: These gluten-free flours are low in carbs and high in fiber, making them a good choice for a low-carb, low-GI diet.
  • Sweeten with natural sweeteners: Instead of refined sugar, use natural sweeteners like erythritol or stevia. These sweeteners have a low glycemic index and won't cause a spike in blood sugar levels.
  • Add some healthy fats: Black beans are a good source of healthy fats, but you can also add other healthy fats like avocado oil, coconut oil, or almond butter.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor will help you blend all the ingredients together until they are smooth. This will ensure that the brownies have a fudgy texture.
  • Bake at a low temperature: Baking the brownies at a low temperature will help them cook evenly without drying them out.

Conclusion:

Black bean brownies are a delicious and healthy dessert option that can be enjoyed by people with different dietary restrictions. They are low in carbs, low in GI, and gluten-free. They are also a good source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats. So, next time you are craving a sweet treat, give these black bean brownies a try!
