These are the best Vegan Black Bean Brownies you will ever eat!<\/h2>\n

I have baked a lot of brownies in my life. I’ve baked and eaten the good, the bad and the ugly. Just about when I thought I had my favourite brownie recipe<\/a> figured out – “puff” -comes this recipe for Vegan Black Bean Banana Brownies<\/strong> and blows my mind.<\/p>\n

And don’t get me wrong, I do like healthy food, but I also take brownies really seriously and I tell you, these Fudgy Black Bean Brownies<\/strong> live up to their name.<\/p>\n

They are soft, dense and taste super chocolatey with a hint of banana in the background. I tell, you these are the best black bean brownies you will EVER taste!<\/p>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

My Vegan Black Bean Brownies are flourless, dairy free, free of refined sugars and so addictive that you will feel tempted to eat the whole tray yourself.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

These Vegan Black Bean Banana Brownies are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Look how rich, dense and fudgy they are! The best thing?<\/p>\n

These sinful-looking chocolate squares are actually super healthy and packed with good-for-you ingredients like coconut oil and black beans.<\/p>\n

Can you taste the beans in these Black Bean Brownies? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you are worried that your vegan black bean brownies will taste of beans, I can assure you that they don’t.<\/p>\n

They are sweet, fudgy and chocolaty with a hint of banana towards the end! These would totally pass as regular brownies so you can take these to any picnic or pack them for your kid’s lunches.<\/p>\n

Black beans add protein to our vegan brownies while lowering the calories dramatically!<\/h2>\n

Seriously, baking with black beans has so many benefits!<\/p>\n

In addition to being gluten-free, a cup of black beans has only about half the calories that a cup of all-purpose flour has, plus it\u2019s got 20% of your daily iron, plus it has a high protein content of 15 g.<\/p>\n

I cut my batch of brownies into 9 squares which are only 152 kcal <\/strong>each!  YES, this means you can eat as many brownies as you want.<\/p>\n

Theoretically. Due to all the fiber in the black beans, these healthy vegan brownies are quite filling. Honestly, I only made it halfway through my second brownie.<\/p>\n

I would say they make an excellent healthy snack in the afternoon<\/strong> that satisfies your sweet-tooth! Plus it leaves you with a good tummy-feeling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These vegan black bean brownies are naturally sweetened with bananas, maple syrup, and dates! <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The banana flavour in these vegan black bean brownies<\/strong> is quite mild, which I like. Along with dates and some maple syrup, the bananas in the batter work more like a sweetener.<\/p>\n

I like my brownies semi-sweet and I found them perfect the way they are. However, I do recommend you try the batter, before baking the brownies.<\/p>\n

Depending on the ripeness of your bananas, you might want to add a bit more sweetener to them.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Fudgy and packed with chocolate flavour! These Vegan Black Bean Brownies are a winner!<\/h2>\n

At first, I was a bit skeptical about the brownies maybe not sticking together without any binding agents such as eggs or flax eggs.<\/p>\n

However, these vegan black bean brownies have the perfect texture: Fudgy, almost like a chocolate truffle and not at all crumbly.<\/p>\n

As to the cocoa powder: I used a mix of unsweetened and Black Onyx Cocoa Powder<\/a>\"\" to get a nice, dark color.<\/p>\n

You can of course use just unsweetened cocoa powder and they will turn out just as good.<\/p>\n

\"Fudgy<\/p>\n

Take your Black Bean Brownies to the next level by adding some coconut cream and coconut caramel!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

These fudgy Vegan Black Bean Brownies<\/strong> taste delicious straight out of the pan.<\/p>\n

However, if you want to take them to the next level or serve them as a fancy dessert, I recommend a dollop of Greek Yogurt or coconut cream<\/a> . A drizzle of homemade vegan coconut caramel<\/a> is also a really good idea!<\/p>\n

I mean, could this look any more tempting? I hope you get to try these healthy brownies yourself soon. And once you caught fire, why not also try something new, like these<\/a> Black Bean Muffins?<\/p>\n
