The ingredients in healthy Black Bean Avocado Brownies

BLACK BEANS – Puréed black beans are at the heart of these super fudgy chocolate brownies. High in fiber and protein, you definitely can’t taste the black beans.
AVOCADO – Puréed avocado makes these healthy brownies incredibly creamy and velvety.
COCOA POWDER – unsweetened. If you want to make dark chocolate Black Bean Avocado Brownies, use half regular cocoa powder and half Dutched cocoa powder. The recipe also tastes great if you simply make it with regular cocoa powder.
GRANULATED SWEETENER OF CHOICE – Sugar or your preferred sweetener. For example, for fewer calories, opt for a sugar-free sweetener.
BAKING POWDER – adds some rise to this flourless dessert.
EGG OR VEGAN EGG
ALMOND FLOUR
VANILLA EXTRACT – for flavor and aroma and to enhance the other flavors.
CINNAMON (optional) – goes exceptionally well with chocolate and adds a seductive aroma.
HEMP HEARTS or ALMOND FLOUR – Hemp hearts add a nutty and crunchy texture to these gluten-free brownies. If you don’t have any, just use almond flour.
WALNUTS (optional) – If you like adding nuts to your brownies, walnuts taste great in these.

CHOCOLATE-AVOCADO FROSTING – Black bean brownies are soft and fudgy to begin with. So topping this flourless delight with creamy, dairy-free Chocolate-Avocado Frosting makes them more gooey than ever. Half a recipe of this vegan frosting, i.e., 1 avocado suffices for frosting the brownies. But if you make the entire low-carb Chocolate-Avocado Frosting recipe, you can freeze any leftover chocolate frosting or enjoy this low-calorie, plant-based treat on its own as naturally dairy-free, keto, vegan chocolate-avocado mousse.

How to Make the Perfect Batch of Fudgy Black Bean Avocado Brownies

To make Black Bean Avocado Brownies, start by preheating the oven to 350° F. Then, rinse and drain one can of black beans before adding them to a food processor along with one ripe avocado. Process until smooth.

Next, add in the cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, an egg (or flax egg for a vegan option), almond flour, vanilla extract, and the optional cinnamon and hemp hearts (or almond flour). Pulse until everything is well combined. Then stir in the optional walnuts.

Pour the batter into an 8 x 8 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper. Smooth out the top with a spatula before placing it in the oven for around 20–25 minutes or until set.

Let cool completely before slicing into squares and serving. These gluten-free chocolate brownies are perfect on their own or topped with chocolate-avocado frosting, fresh berries, nuts or ice cream.

Not only do these flourless brownies taste amazing but they also provide numerous health benefits such as aiding digestion due to high fiber content from both black beans and avocados. They also contain antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation in the body which may lead to several chronic illnesses like heart disease or cancer.
