Fudgy Black Bean Brownie Squares
A surprisingly rich and fudgy brownie square that cleverly incorporates black beans and protein powder to deliver a satisfying, clean treat. Enjoy the dense chocolate flavor, a hint of nuttiness from almond butter, and the natural sweetness of maple syrup for a dessert that satisfies your chocolate cravings while fitting perfectly into your macro goals.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup canned black beans (rinsed)
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
3 large egg whites
1 scoop whey protein isolate
1 tbsp almond butter
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking pan with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the black beans, almond butter, maple syrup, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, whey protein isolate, and baking powder into the mixture. Blend again until all ingredients are well incorporated and the batter is uniform.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay for fudginess).
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Enjoy as is or with a light dusting of cocoa powder for extra flavor!
