Black Bean Brownies-Dairy Free, Wheat Free
I tried a recipe today that I have to share. Brownies made from black beans. Pretty cool, huh?
You are probably thinking that beans are a funny ingredient for brownies but I found this recipe on The Happy Herbivore and I had to try it out. I have been on an experimental baking kick for a while looking for the best recipes that are wheat-free, dairy-free, and egg-free.
So the real review will be from my husband. Survey says......they’re okay. (He’s a tough critic.) He was disappointed with the chocolate flavor and thought there was too much cinnamon. He had no issues with the beans replacing the flour. There were no texture issues with the brownies. In fact they are moist and dense. So will I make these again? You bet. I will ramp up the chocolate by using melted baking cocoa versus powered, eliminate the cinnamon, and add a touch more vanilla. I’ll post an update with the results!
