Delectable Flourless (Peppermint) Chocolate Brownies
When you are looking for a treat to share, these brownies are a great option! With the main ingredient being black beans these brownies are sweetened with pure organic maple syrup and include several super food ingredients. I like to cut these into small bites, but if you cut the batch into only 24 pieces for larger servings, each piece will still have less than 8 grams of sugar (natural sugar!) and just under 4 grams of fiber. Plus they contain several great nutrients. The recipe has been taste tested and are crowd approved. Enjoy!
Delectable Flourless (Peppermint) Chocolate Brownies
- 2 – 15.5oz can black beans
- 4 Tb. Raw cocoa
- 1 cup rolled (I use organic sprouted) oats
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt or Himalayan pink salt
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup Extra Virgin coconut oil
- 4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder (aluminum free)
- 1 cup chocolate chips +some extra to sprinkle on top (I like Enjoy Life brand dark chocolate morsels)
- For peppermint brownies- add 8 drops of Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350. Combine all ingredients, except the chips, in a food processor and blend until completely smooth. Stir in the chips and place in an 9x13 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper (unbleached). Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until set. If they are two soft, don’t fret! Put them in the fridge overnight and they will be good to go! (edited version of Chocolatecoveredkatie.com’s black bean brownie recipe)
