Equipment
- 9" x 9" square pan
- parchment paper
- food processor
- strainer
- measuring spoons/cups
- bowl
- spatula
- Wooden spoon
- scale
Ingredients
- 1 can 15.5 oz unseasoned black beans - Trader Joe's
- ½ c King Arthur 00 pizza flour
- ⅓ c cocoa power
- ¾ c sugar or equivalent sweetener - Truvia with Stevia
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ c plain non fat yogurt
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp brewed coffee (see note at bottom)
- 30 g Bake Believe sugar free semi sweet chocolate chips or your favorite brand
- Pam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Line a 9" x 9" square pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with Pam and use a napkin or piece of paper towel to smear the Pam over the parchment paper. Set aside.
- Open the can of bean. Drain and then rinse them with water. Leave them in a strainer set on top of paper towels to drain until you are ready to use them.
- Place the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Use a wooden spoon or flour to mix these dry ingredients together. Set aside.
- Weigh out 30m g of sugar free chocolate chips and set aside.
- Place the black beans into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until you have a smooth purée.
- Add the egg whites, plain non fat yogurt, vanilla extract and coffee to the food processor bowl. Pulse until these ingredients are uniformly mixed with the black bean purée.
- Add the dry ingredients to the food processor bowl. Pulse until the dry ingredients are mixed into the black bean mixture.
- Transfer the brownie batter into the parchment lined square baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth the batter into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the batter. Lightly press the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Place the brownies into the oven and bake for 18 - 20 min. I checked the brownies at 18 min and baked them an additional 2 min. The top of the brownies will crack. They are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry or with dry crumbs on it. If the toothpick comes out with goopy batter on them, then cook for another 2 min.
- Remove the brownies from the oven when done and let cool.
- Cut, serve and enjoy. Leftovers freeze well.
Notes
I used brewed coffee. If you have instant coffee in the house, you can use 1/2 tsp of that instead.
Trader Joe's organic black beans have the lowest amount of sodium that I have found.
