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.
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.
Vegan Flourless Black Bean Brownies Recipe
Vegan Flourless Black Bean Brownies Recipe
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.
Servings: 12
Calories: 224kcal
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.

I love these brownies. I have made other recipes but I will have to try this recipe.
These look so rich and decadent. I would have never guessed they are made with black beans!
Wow I can’t believe that these are made with black beans! I am so curious to see how they taste, because if they are good and I can my kids to eat them I will be so stoked!
They will NEVER know! They are very chocolatey.
I will have to make this. It looks delicious!
Looks so delicious and moist.. I can’t wait to try this out
They look great, and I would love to try them on my husband and sons. They would never know they were flourless and made with beans.
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 brownies look delicious! and I don’t think I have ever tasted black bean brownies before but sure would love to try making some 🙂
I’m a huge fan of beans (and brownies, too!!). I love this recipe and would like to try it, I’ve heard of using beans in desserts, but so far haven’t seen a good recipe – this is perfect!
Wow, these look delicious and flour free? I’ve never heard of flour free brownies before, will have to try this!
Theses brownies look so yummy I would love to make theses sometimr
Pinned and have to try this for sure.
This looks fabulous–ty for the recipe!
I never would have thought of black beans in connection with brownies but I’m anxious to try these!
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!!
YES way more protein!! And fiber! Enjoy 🙂
Even though my family is not vegan, these look delicious and I’m going to try them.
Yes, Black Bean Brownies are an easy way to sneak in more healthy snacks.
I just made gluten-/grain-free chickpea blondies with my husband’s approval, so the next step is to try his favorite brownies with black beans. They look excellent!
Oh Heather, I love Blondies..wanna share your recipe? YUM
I’m going to try these for my granddaughter. She is 9 and just diagnosed with Lupus and is on a gluten-free diet.
Lisa she should love them. Seems young to be diagnosed with lupus…my thoughts with her and the family.
I love black bean brownies. I have never tried them flourless. Thank you for sharing.

This is a great recipe, brownies look delicious!!!
I have seen this recipe around and would love to see how black beans taste in desserts.
Wow, these look so amazing and I’m going to try to make soon!
Every time I see black bean brownies, I think they look amazing, but I can’t get over the thought that they’ll taste like beans. I need to just close my eyes and do it! 🙂
My teen and I were talking about making our own brownies instead of from a mix (ugh). I wonder if she would consider these…
This is an interesting twist on a classic recipe. I love how they won’t be as firm as regular brownies and don’t have flour!
This looks delicious! I tried black bean brownies before I was gluten free, but they still called for flour. I remember really liking them. Looking forward to giving this recipe a try!
these look really good
These were delicious, would make again
yummmo– looks like something I want to try this week. Sometimes its really hard to find just the right vegan dessert for my family. But brownies are always a hit– Thank you for sharing
These sound interesting but look really good. I’ll have to make them and see what the teen thinks!
These look so good! I love finding healthy brownie recipes, since they are one of my favorite desserts to make. These seem easy to fix as well. Thanks!
I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for a while now! I always love trying healthy alternatives to sweets and brownies are my absolute favorite! I’ll be trying these very soon, thanks for sharing!
I love how these are flourless and vegan! I’ve wanted to find a few vegan recipes and I will definitely be trying this one out. 🙂
Oh my word, those flour less black bean brownies look so delish!! I’m going to have to try this recipe out! 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!
My niece is a vegan. I excited to make it for her.
Those brownies look delicious. It’s hard to believe that they’re flourless and made with black beans. I’m def going to try them.
