If you're a brownie purist, these might not be for you. I know many people like their baked goods plain jane (Dad) and don't want anything in their brownies or cookies. Not judging, okay? I'm also aware of the stigma regarding black bean brownies. I, myself, have tried several different black bean brownie recipes in the past and most of them were...to put it bluntly...icktastic.
Not these.
These chewy, gooey black bean brownies are studded with sweet blueberries, zesty candied ginger, and dark chocolate chunks.
- 2 Tbsp. ground flax seed
- ¼ cup + 3 Tbsp. cold water
- ½ cup quick oats, dry
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 15 oz. can of black beans, rinsed well
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/3 cup agave nectar (molasses or maple syrup)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ¼ cup dried blueberries
- ¼ cup candied ginger, minced
- 1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate
- dash of flake salt for garnish (optional)
