Gluten Free Double Chocolate Black Bean Brownies from weelicious.comPin

Is it possible to have two totally polar opposite foods in one bite? Something so good for you packed with vegetarian protein and another much more naughty and irresistable like chocolate. I can easily be swayed to down a bowl of black beans and rice as long as I know there’s anything chocolate at the end as it’s my total weakness! If this is the way that I’m wired I can’t imagine I’m the only one. Imagine if black beans and chocolate were combined into rich, decadent brownies that were so irresistable you couldn’t stop bite after bite. Even though the idea of black beans in your brownies might turn you off, the first bite of these Gluten Free Double Chocolate Black Bean Brownies will change your ways!

The best part of this decadent marriage is that they’re good for you too. Whenever I make these no one can tell the secret ingredient that makes them so moist and rich. It’s the most hilarious guessing game! No one would ever say “black beans?” By appearance you think they’re a normal brownies, but trust me when I tell you they’re so much more.

  1. Chocolate is my favorite part in terms of cooking. And with this recipe you just made the day for me. Thanks for this and please comes with new chocolate flavored recipes like you always do. Waiting for the another one as i always do 🙂

  2. Wow. I made these for my family as a Valentine’s Day treat and they were a hit! I cut back to 1/2 cup honey and added 1/2 cup chips to the batter but skipped the chips on top and they were still super rich and fudgy! I’d been wanting to try black bean brownies for a long time, but didn’t have the nerve until this recipe (if it’s Weelicious, it has to be good!).

  3. Yes, the children! lol. I updated the recipe. 1/2 cup in the batter 1/2 cup on top! 😉

  4. Love the idea of brownies that aren’t the worse thing for you. My question is…..The recipe calls for 1 cup chocolate chips. Then you put 1/2 cup into the batter and the it calls for the remaining 1/4 cup on top. Did someone eat the other 1/4 cup when I wasn’t looking?

  5. Can I use something instead of the coconut oil, and if so, how much?
    Also, if gluten-free is not an issue, should I use quick (1-minute) oats or rolled oats? 1-1 ratio?
    Thanks, these look delicious!
