This is not your normal brownie! It also happens to be nutrient-packed, chocolatey and indulgent. I’m about to show you that you can bake with beans and not taste them. Instead, you’ll just taste … brownies.
You can use food processor or blender to make those black beans into a puree. It is just easier to get every last drop of puree out of the food processor. I don’t own a food processor, so I use blender , even if you puree isn’t 100% smooth, you still won’t taste beans in the brownies. Unbelievable, right?!
Mix the dry and wet ingredients and baked in the oven for 30 minutes. This is the best way to fill your house with a chocolatey aroma.
You’d never guess these rich, chocolatey treats contain a cup of black beans. Who would have thought black bean brownies would be so amazing?
Trust me, you won’t taste the beans. Enjoy!

Chocolatey Black Bean Brownies
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1.5 cup sugar (I cut the sugar to 1 cup – I use 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar)
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350’F (175’C).
- Lightly oil a 8 x 8 inch pan.
- Stir flour, salt, baking powder and cocoa powder together in a bowl. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar by using hand mixer.
- In a food processor or blender, blend the black bean, eggs and vanilla extract until no bean texture left. I add the egg one at a time, so that it has liquid to blend the mixture until smooth.
- Stir wet mixture into dry ingredients until moist. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 30 minutes. or until a knife instead in the centre comes out clean . Store these moist brownies in an airtight container in the fridge.
