Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Make sure your bananas are ripe and spotty. This will ensure they're sweet and moist, and they'll help to bind the brownies together.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beans. Black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans all work well in brownies.
  • Add mix-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins to the brownies, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will make the brownies dry.

Conclusion:

Black bean brownies are a delicious and healthy way to satisfy your chocolate cravings. They're made with wholesome ingredients like black beans, oats, and bananas, and they're packed with protein and fiber. Plus, they're gluten-free and vegan, so they're a great option for people with dietary restrictions.
