Protein Black Bean Brownies
Options
I'm making these today, let's cross our fingers they're yummy!
Serves 8
Ingredients:
1 can black beans
3 eggs
1/2c butter
4Tbs coco
1 cup dates
1tsp vanilla
3 scoops protein powder (mine has 30g/scoop, adjust macros appropriately)
pinch of salt
Directions:
Rinse Beans
Add beans and other ingredients to the bender, blend to the consistency of brownie batter.
Kitchen tip- To soften the dates, so that they blend well, put in a small sauce pan. Add just enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. After about a minute of boiling, the skins will start to split, and they will be soft. Drain water and and they will blend smoothly.
Addition ingredients: Once the batter is mixed, you can add lots of goodies! Fold in some dark chocolate chips, or shredded coconut! Or you can add half a block of cream cheese for marbled and higher protein brownies!
Make a parchment sling for an 8x8 pan, pour in batter, and bake @ 350 for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cutting: For perfectly cut brownies, but the tin in the freezer for 2 hours, after baking. Lift the parchment cradle out of the tin, put on a cutting board and use a pizza cutter to get straight clean lines. Rinse cutter with warm water if it starts to grab the brownies
