Fudgy Black Bean Brownies with Dark Chocolate
A decadent yet nutritious twist on traditional brownies, blending hearty black beans and rich dark chocolate with a boost of whey protein for a satisfying treat that works beautifully as a balanced meal option. The fudgy texture, subtle nuttiness from almond butter, and a deep cocoa flavor combine to offer a dessert-like vibe while keeping you fueled.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked black beans (130g)
1 large egg (50g)
1 ounce dark chocolate (28g)
1 tablespoon almond butter (16g)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (5g)
1 scoop whey protein isolate (30g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish or line with parchment paper.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the black beans, egg, almond butter, and whey protein isolate. Blend until a smooth, even mixture forms.
Add the cocoa powder and break the dark chocolate into chunks. Pulse the mixture briefly to incorporate the chocolate chunks without completely melting them, preserving little pockets of chocolate.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to maintain a fudgy texture.
Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature, enjoying these fudgy brownies as a nutritious treat that fits your meal plan.
