Fudgy Black Bean Chocolate Brownies
Blended black beans and rich cocoa powder create these decadent brownies with a velvety texture that satisfies cravings while fueling your day with clean protein.
INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup canned black beans
1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder
0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 large egg
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp maple syrup
0.25 tsp baking powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small 6x6 inch oven-safe baking dish with a touch of coconut oil.
Drain the canned black beans into a colander and rinse them very thoroughly under cold water to remove any metallic taste and excess sodium.
Place the rinsed beans, Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend the mixture on high until it is completely smooth and no traces of bean skins remain.
Add the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt to the blender.
Pulse the blender several times until the dry ingredients are just incorporated into the wet batter, being careful not to over-mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan for at least 15 minutes to let the fudgy structure set before slicing.
