Black Bean Brownies! (Trust me they are excellent)
Sounds kinda gross, but I just tried them and they are delicious! I am particularly pleased to have found this recipe because as a diabetic I can't eat regular brownies because of the carb/sugar content. But these brownies only have 13 grams of carbs per serving and the serving size is very generous.
I cut my batch into 9 pieces (the recipe says 12, but I wanted them a bit bigger) and the nutrition facts are as follows:
Per Serving: 186 Calories 14g carbs 15g fat 3g protein 2g fiber

Let me know if anyone else has tried this and what you thought.

One word of warning from experience- don't use cajun spiced black beans even if that's all you have in your cupboard haha. (The smell lingered in my house for days.)
Otherwise, black bean brownies are fantastic!0 -
ive made black bean brownies before.. i dont think it was that specific recipe though. the taste was good, but i had a crappy food processor at the time, so the beans didnt get as smooth as they should have - making the texture a bit weird. ive been meaning to try them again now that i have a better processor0
-
I make these from time to time. They are amazing!!!0
-
I'm definitely going to try these! I looooove black beans0
-
I posted this recipe a couple of weeks ago, Iv been wanting to try them so bad ( gluten free) but i cannot find black beans anywhere in aus!!0

Does everyone know that "brownie" refers to a specific brown ingredient, not to just ANY brown ingredient?0

Wait, what? You mean like the "cookie dough" made from white beans that tastes nothing like cookie dough?0 -

LOL that sounds like a pretty terrible experience. Luckily I went out and bought regar one specifically for this recipe.0 -
Gonna have to try this. Thanks!0

I have a ton of canned black beans, so this is perfect. I wonder if you could omit the chocolate chips and just increase the cocoa powder a little bit.0

I made them last night and they're delicious!! Although I didn't use any cocoa powder or chocolate chips, just two bars of 40gr chocolate each, and they ended up being awesooome! It was so much fun to watch my family eat one... two pieces and then tell them that they were made of beans! lol
My sister actually asked if I had used her Betty Crocker brownie mix (she's been saving it for a "special ocasion" :laugh: )
Today I'm taking the brownies to work, I'm really looking forward to see my coworkers' expression when they find out the main ingredient
This is what was left an hour after I took them out of the oven:

I've made this using regular brownie mixes. It's literally black beans, water and brownie mix, no oil. They're fantastic and way lower fat than regular brownies!0

I think I will have to make these for the family, not tell and see what happens :laugh:0

Hmm, gonna have to try this with some substitutions..
egg whites vs whole eggs
applesauce vs oil
molasses vs sugar0 -

I've tried them before... they are okay. The texture is not much like a brownie though. It's more like a custard or like an old-fashioned type of pudding.0

I've been meaning to try this, as I hear they're great! Another one to try is beetroot brownies, which sounds horrible is just as good!0

I am going to try this! Thanks0 -
I've made these often, for family and friends alike...everybody loves them! I've shared the recipe with several of my accountability group ladies and they all had great success making these for their own families! They are definitely more fudgey than cake like and a great "healthy" treat. The recipe I use is different, but I love the idea of adding espresso, may have to try it.
My go-to egg free and wheat free recipe (I use maple syrup & coconut oil).. http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/09/06/no-flour-black-bean-brownies/
These are around 115 calories per brownie.0
