My go-to comfort dessert during these many months of craziness has been brownies. I have made quite a few versions, but I think these are my all-time favorite so far.
If you don't want to wait for the brownies to bake, try my Edible Gluten Free Brownie Batter. They are made with almond flour, so you don't even have to heat treat the flour!
In addition to comforting chocolate brownies, I have been shopping online more than ever. I have bought a bunch of vegan handbags, as well as other fun things.
These fudgy brownies are sure to be a hit. You may want to make a double batch since they are so addictive!
Another brownie recipe to try is my Easy No-Bake Brownies recipe. You may also like my Spicy Peanut Butter Cookies recipe and my Vegan Chickpea Blondies recipe.

- They are sweet, rich, and fudgy.

🧾 Ingredients
Brownies
- Black beans: Add a moist texture.
- Peanut butter: I used all-natural peanut butter. You could use shelf-stable peanut butter. You could also use almond butter or cashew butter.
- Almond flour: You could also use oat flour.
- Cacao powder (or cocoa powder): Adds a chocolaty flavor.
- Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup.
- Baking powder: Adds lift to the brownies.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness. I like to use sea salt.
- Chocolate chips: You could also use dark chocolate baking chunks.
Peanut Butter Swirl
- Peanut butter: I used all-natural peanut butter. You could use shelf-stable peanut butter. You could also use almond butter or cashew butter.
- Sweetened condensed coconut milk: Adds a sweet, rich creamy flavor. You could also use sweetened condensed oat milk, which I used when I updated this recipe. Maple syrup or agave syrup would also work.

Step 5: Heat until well combined.

💭 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.
- If you prefer, use a different nut butter or seed butter.
- Make sure to rinse and drain the black beans. Rinsing removes unwanted salt. Draining is necessary because the beans 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 more chocolate chips.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last about a week if you can control yourself!
