Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 1 cup black beans cooked and drained
  • - 1 ripe banana
  • - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • - 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • - 1/4 cup nut butter peanut butter or almond butter
  • - 1/4 cup dairy-free yogurt
  • - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • - 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • - Pinch of salt
  • - Optional: 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips or nuts

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a food processor, combine the black beans, ripe banana, nut butter, dairy-free yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no bean chunks remaining.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry mixture to the blended ingredients, stirring until well combined. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or nuts at this stage.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  • Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the baking dish for at least 15 minutes before cutting them into squares. For a firmer texture, let them cool completely.
  • Extra Tips:
  • To enhance the flavor of your brownies, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
  • Additionally, if you prefer a sweeter brownie, feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup to your taste. For an even richer experience, pair your brownies with a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream or serve them alongside fresh fruit. Enjoy your healthy indulgence!
