Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free
Flourless. Gluten free. Protein packed. Zero refined sugar. But no one would ever guess they are eating something healthy when they take a bite into these indulgent salted caramel black bean brownies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15.5 oz) can of black beans
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/4 cup agave
- 1/4 cup salted caramel protein powder
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder*
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Chocolate chips to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Drain and rinse your black beans. Combine with apple sauce and agave in your food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add your protein powder, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and baking powder, and again blend until well combined.
- Lastly, add in your eggs and blend until you get a consistent batter.
- Fold in your chocolate chips (don’t blend again!) and then pour into an 8×8 baking dish lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 35 minutes, depending on your oven, or until the edges start to brown, it is firm to the touch, and a toothpick comes out mostly clean (keeping in mind there are chocolate chips it could hit).
Notes
*Can sub with additional protein powder
Use dairy free and refined sugar free chocolate chips to keep recipe such (I like Lily’s)
I have not tried with any other protein powder so I can’t recommend substitutes at this time
