The BEST Black Bean Brownies Recipe ever ! I make these embarrassingly often because they are the perfect healthy dessert that's ready in 15 minutes and are delicious straight from the oven. Total Time:15m Yield: 9-12
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups black beans (1 15-oz can, drained and rinsed very well) (250g after draining)
2 tbsp cocoa powder (10g)
1/2 cup quick oats (40g) (See nutrition link below for substitutions)
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave (75g) To replace 1 cup of white sugar you can substitute it for 3/4 cup honey, or 3/4 cups maple syrup or 2/3 cup agave or 1 teaspoon stevia. • pinch uncut stevia
1/4 cup coconut or vegetable oil (40g)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract • 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup to 2/3 cup chocolate chips (115-140g) (Not optional. Omit at your own risk.)
optional: more chips, for presentation
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine all ingredients except chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely smooth. Really blend well. (A blender can work if you absolutely must, but the texture—and even the taste—will be much better in a food processor.
Stir in the chips,
then pour into a greased 8×8 pan.
Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top.
Cook the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. If they still look a bit undercooked, you can place them in the fridge overnight and they will magically firm up! Makes 9-12 brownies.

I really enjoyed reading about this black bean brownie recipe — it’s such a creative way to make a diabetic-friendly dessert without sacrificing flavor. I’ve been focusing more on healthy dining options lately, and presentation plays a huge role in how food is perceived. That’s one of the reasons I’ve been exploring restaurant menu covers — the way a menu looks can instantly elevate the dining experience and align with a restaurant’s healthy or gourmet concept. Beautifully designed menus set the tone before the first bite, just like thoughtful recipes set the mood for mindful eating.
I love the idea of using black beans in brownies for a diabetic-friendly recipe! It's amazing how simple ingredients can come together to create a healthier version of a classic treat. If you’re into experimenting with new flavors, I recommend trying a mollejas recipe as well. Mollejas are a great source of protein and can be prepared in a deliciously healthy way. They’re perfect for adding variety to your meals while sticking to nutritious ingredients. Both of these recipes offer a wonderful way to enjoy flavorful dishes without compromising on health
