A black bean brownies recipe was in the back of my Illinois Country Living magazine. I would have never imagined using black beans to make brownies, but I knew I had to give it a try. I love black beans and have been obsessed with them lately, so it only makes sense that I add them to a dessert.

Black beans have many health benefits. Of course, this is not the best way to incorporate them into your diet, but it’s a good way to satisfy a brownie craving. šŸ˜‰ I love eating black beans in tacos, or even warmed up with just a dash of sea salt.

The flavor of these black bean brownies turned out to be a rich, dark chocolate. Mike detected the hint of coffee flavor. I didn’t notice it, but I am a huge coffee drinker, and he is not. The texture is good, although I prefer my brownies to be chewier.

Neither one of us noticed the black beans. I don’t believe they affected the flavor at all. Overall I thought the brownies were darn tasty, and I would definitely make them again.

Have you ever tried black bean brownies? What’s your favorite brownie recipe?

    These look amazing! Thank you very very much šŸ™‚ I’m about to make these and plan on using maple syrup as part of the sugar then subbing in crushed walnuts to make up for the dry amount.

    I keep hearing about brownies made from black beans but haven’t tried them yet. I find it so hard to believe that they taste as good as regular brownies. I’ll give them a try this weekend!

    That’s a sneaky way to get a bit of protein in your diet. As long as they taste good…

    My brother made black bean brownies before, but he didn’t top them with chocolate chips. Its a taste that I liked, but he was not a fan.

    I have never heard of this and judging by the comments, it seems that I’m the only one who hasn’t. What an awesome idea, and I love that they’re gluten free (my cousin doesn’t consume gluten and I’m always looking for delicious recipes to make for her). Thank you for posting, I’ll look forward to trying these.

    I never would have thought of using black beans! They do look good. They have a rich, dark color & that looks good.

    These brownies look amazing and really good to make and like that they have black beans in it. This gives these brownies a lot of fiber!
