Gluten Free- Vegan Brownies

These brownies are easy to make and they taste great. You will need:

15oz can of black beans drained and rinsed
2 whole bananas
1/3 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup raw sugar (optional)
1/4 cup instant oats

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 8x8 pan. Combine all ingredients except oats, in food processor or blender, blend until smooth. Stir in oats and pour batter into pan. Bake 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing. If they come out to fudge-y add 1/4 more oats to the batter.

Leave a comment after you make them and tell us what you think.

  1. Black bean brownies are great! Thanks for posting the recipe. I'll try it soon except I think I will sub carob powder for all or some of the cocoa (it's a bit sweeter than cocoa) and omit the raw sugar. I'll probably also use honey instead of agave. I'll post again when I make them! I've also seen vegan black bean brownies with coffee in them too, not sure exactly how it worked but they tasted great.
