Time 1h5m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
One 15.5-ounce can low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/4 cups cocoa powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and move a rack to the middle of the oven. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine 1/2 cup water and the beans in a blender or food processor and blend until the mixture resembles the consistency of a grainy chocolate pudding. Add the cocoa powder, sugar, oil, vanilla, salt and eggs, and blend until smooth. Scrape out the batter into a large mixing bowl.
  • Use a double boiler to melt 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips or place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway through. Stir the melted chocolate into the black bean mixture and add the remaining chocolate chips. Mix until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the edges separate from the pan slightly, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Cool for 10 minutes, then sift the confectioners' sugar over the top and cut into sixteen 2-inch squares to serve.

BLACK BEAN BROWNIES (LOW-SAT FAT, LOW-SUGAR, LOW-CARB)



Black Bean Brownies (Low-Sat Fat, Low-Sugar, Low-Carb) image

I was given a pamphlet on recipes that use beans and the original recipe for these brownies was included. I switched the sugar to Splenda, the eggs to egg substitute (or the same amount of liquid egg whites) and the vegetable oil to canola oil. They're just as good as a traditional brownie but you won't feel bad letting your kids eat them (and eat them they will)!

Time 40m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (15 1/2 ounce) can no salt added black beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup egg substitute
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Spray an 8x8 square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Combine the black beans, egg substitute, canola oil, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla extract, Splenda and instant coffee granules (if using) in a blender; blend until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. At this point, you can also sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the mixture, if you're not watching your calories.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges start to pull away from the side of the pan, about 30 minutes.
  • I've also noticed that the texture gets better after being refrigerated.
