These delicious vegan, flourless brownies are quick to prepare and an easy recipe to double up.
Ingredients
  • 1¾ cups black beans (cooked and rinsed - equivalent to 1 15oz can; you can also make these with garbanzo beans, kidney beans, or navy beans with minor variations in flavour)
  • ½ cup + 1 Tbsp cane sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa
  • ½ cup mashed banana (= 1 medium banana)
  • 3 Tbsp oil (I like to use grapeseed oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • .
  • Possible Toppings (optional, to taste)
  • chopped nuts (walnuts, peanuts, etc)
  • chocolate chips
  • fruit (banana slice, berries, etc)
  • cacao nibs
  • shaved coconut
Instructions
  1. Lightly grease the muffin tray or line with paper liners.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
  3. Add the main ingredients (beans, cocoa, sugar, banana, oil, vanilla, baking powder) to the bowl of your food processor and pulse on high for 1 min or until smooth and well blended.
  4. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, being sure to smooth the batter within the cup to prevent air pockets.
  5. Top with your choice of toppings (I like to add a slice of banana and some crushed nuts or shaved coconut).
  6. Bake for 22-25 minutes, until you see the brownies pull away from the sides of the muffin cups.
  7. Serve warm with ice cream and berries, or allow to cool 10 min before storing.
