Chocolate Vegan Brownies (Healthy)

This Chocolate Vegan Brownies recipe is the BEST, they’re rich, gooey and chewy with hints of orange and coffee and you would never guess they’re healthy and gluten free! WHAT!! Yup, My Plant Based Black Bean Brownies are amazing!

My Hubby is addicted to these gooey morsels of yumminess. It took me a few tweaks to perfect these delicious vegan brownies, so needless to say my taste tester (AKA husband Carl) was a happy camper, haha– and no you cannot taste the black beans.😊

No boxed brownie mix here kids! Just healthy delicious chocolate goodness!

This recipe couldn’t be easier, you just need a food processor and you’re set.

I like maple syrup with this recipe but you could use honey or sugar instead, whatever floats your boat.They will be equally delicious either way.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE VEGAN BROWNIES:

I soak the dates in boiling water to soften them before adding them to the processor, 10-15 minutes should do it. Then add your black beans, almond butter ( or peanut butter), plant milk and maple syrup. Voom away till smooth. Scrape it all into bowl add rest of ingredients and voila. I use a non stick pan for this. Bake the brownies for 35 minutes, no longer. They will feel under cooked but will firm up when cool.

That’s it folks! Just remember to cool completely in pan on cooling rack first, if you can wait that long😄
Go get started, soak those dates!

These Chocolate Vegan Brownies are:

Notes

• for the dates , add them to soup bowl and cover with boiling water, soak for 10 – 15 minutes, (it softens the dates and makes them easier to blend), drain before using.
• you can use honey in place of maple syrup. If using granulated sugar instead I’d go with 1/3 to 1/2 of a cup.
• for the chocolate I use 2 – 100 gram dark chocolate bars from Walmart. they are cheap and the quality is great!
• I recommend storing in fridge (if they make it that far), and reheating in microwave, 20 -25 seconds before serving👍
