Vegan Black Bean Brownies (Healthy + GF)

These Vegan Black Bean Brownies are the best you’ll taste! Vegan or otherwise! They are fudgy and flourless, made with dates, almond butter, maple syrup, cocoa and chocolate. Egg free, dairy free, gluten free and healthy!

My Hubby is addicted to these vegan brownies. It took me a few tweaks to perfect these gooey morsels of yumminess. 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 and simple fudge black bean brownies made from scratch! The perfect healthy Vegan Dessert!

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 sugar or sweetener of choice, whatever floats your boat. They will be equally delicious either way. These brownies are basically refined sugar free with the addition of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN BLACK BEAN BROWNIES:

Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees

Soak dates in boiling water for 10-15 minutes, drain, then add the dates to the food processor along with rinsed black beans, process for 1 minute or so and then add the plant milk, maple syrup, and almond butter. Now Process the mixture until smooth, scraping down sides if necessary

Next add the mixture to a  large bowl with the rest of ingredients, and mix well

Pour the brownie batter into non stick brownie pan, I use a 11 x 7 inch pan

Bake for 35 minutes then remove from oven and cool in pan on cooling rack

Lastly Tip the brownies out onto cutting board or cut and serve from pan. your choice

Makes 15 – 20 brownies, ( depending on how big you cut them😊)

Try these vegan brownies with my Chocolate Malted Vegan Ice Cream. So good!

Enjoy! For full recipe instructions and ingredients see recipe card below

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!

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.
• I like maple syrup with this recipe but you could sugar or sweetener of choice. If using granulated sugar 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!
• If in Canada “Presidents Choice” semi sweet chocolate chips are vegan, (always check label though😊)
• I recommend storing in fridge (if they make it that far), and reheating in microwave, 20 -25 seconds before serving👍
