Vegan Flourless Black Bean Brownies Recipe

July 2, 2014 By Colleen 44 Comments

I'd love it if you'd share this post:

These flourless black bean brownies are on the gooey side which is fine with me…and so yummy.  I think I am going to be hooked on flourless baking, well at least some things for now.

Vegan Flour-less Black Bean Brownies

I am trying to bake more flourless desserts.  I just made some great peanut butter cookies with only 3 ingredients…watch for that recipe next.  They were better than fabulous!   I’ll be posting more about how going flourless can improve your health.  But for now, try these great brownies.  You won’t be disappointed.

Prep Time15 mins

Author: My Dairy-Free Gluten-Free Life

Ingredients

  • 1 - 15 ounce can of black beans or 1/2 cup dry, soaked and fully cooked
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup oats gluten free
  • ¼ cup cocao powder
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or your favorite baking oil, I like Safflower
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Dash of salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Enjoy Life Dairy Free Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Grease an 8 x 8 square baking pan and set aside.
  • Drain and rinse the black beans.
  • Place all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a food processor until completely smooth. Mix in 3/4 cup chocolate chips by hand.
  • Add batter to the pan and spread it evenly in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate over the top if desired.
  • Bake the brownies for about 20 minutes. They will still be soft and won’t have the texture of regular baked brownies, so don’t let them burn on the edges. After 20 minutes remove from oven and let sit for about 30 minutes before serving, the brownies firm up as they cool.

    Even though I’ve heard of putting black beans in desserts, I don’t see how they can taste good. But you fix food that I can eat even with all my allergies, so it looks like I will have to try these too (and not tell my husband).

    These look really good. I am a bit skeptical, but that will not stop me from trying it. I love recipes that I can make my family that are more healthy and these fit that for sure. I have read that zucchini can be used for brownies as well.

    Im assuming that with the black beans added these contain way more protein than the average brownie? My toddler hasn’t eaten a vegetable in about a year so I think this recipe is next up on the kid testing block 😉 Thanks for sharing!!

    I keep looking for a really good and healthy Vegan Brownie recipe, because I really miss my home made Brownies, but haven’t been able to convert a recipe to Vegan that worked out well. I can’t wait to try this one, because they look yummy and the recipe sounds simple! Even better that it’s flourless! This Chocolate Brownie lover thanks you from the bottom of her heart!
