These moist rich Vegan Black Bean Brownies are extremely addictive. You would never know they are good for you!

During these crazy times, I have found solace in brownies and shopping. I have bought quite a few vegan handbags, as well as other fun things online.

I have made my Fudgy No-Bake Brownies numerous times as well as these Vegan Black Bean Brownies and some other bars that I'll be sharing in the coming weeks.

How to Make This Recipe

Mix black beans, tahini, maple syrup, cacao powder, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt in a food processor. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving ¼ cup to sprinkle on top.

Spread mixture into an oiled or parchment lined baking dish. Sprinkle the rest of chocolate chips on top, and push into mixture. Bake until toothpick comes out clean.

How Do Black Bean Brownies Taste?

These brownies taste moist, fudgy, and chocolatey! You cannot taste the black beans at all. There's tahini in them also, but you would never know it.

Tips

  • If you like moist rich fudgy brownies, this recipe is for you. If you prefer cakey brownies, these brownies will be too soft and moist for you.
  • When doing the toothpick test (to check for doneness), keep in mind that there are a lot of chocolate chips, and you could hit one with the toothpick.
  • Even though you cannot taste the tahini, you may want to use another seed or nut butter.
  • Make sure to rinse and drain the black beans. Rinsing removes unwanted salt. Draining is necessary because they already add a lot of moisture - you don't need any excess water.
  • As always, taste as you go. You may want more salt than I've included, or less chocolate chips. Just keep in mind wet to dry ingredient ratios. If you want more maple syrup for example, you will be adding more moisture.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last about a week, if you can control yourself!

I love these Pyrex baking dishes! I used a 7 ½" x 9 ½" baking dish for this recipe. It's great because it comes with a cover, so I can put it in the fridge.
