Ⓥ Vegan Kitchen: Vegan Black Bean Brownies!!! Ⓥ



I was intrigued when I first heard about these and decided that I simply must try them! 
They are gluten-free (as long as you use gluten-free oats), sugar-free, Vegan (of course), low-fat, and packed full of protein, and simply delicious! I don't think you could find a healthier brownie around! See? Dessert Can be good for you ;)   

They taste delicious, and not at all like black beans! They are pretty dense because they have no flour, almost fudge-like, super moist and packed full of flavor. A very fun alternative to the unhealthy kinds ;). So without further ado...

Black Bean Brownies:

1 can Black Beans (drained and rinsed)
2 whole Bananas
1/3 cup Agave Nectar (more if you want them a bit sweeter)
1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
1-2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup instant Oats

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease an 8x8" pan and set aside. 
Combine all the ingredients, expect the oats, in a food processor and blend until smooth. Stir in the oats. Pour batter into the greased pan. 
Bake for 30-40 minutes--until you can stick a toothpick in the centre and it comes out clean. Allow to cool for approximately one hour before slicing. 

Voila! Yummy healthy brownies!  Enjoy!
