Confession time: who else can’t resist the allure of chocolate? Especially when it’s full of rich, earthy flavors with just a hint of fruity notes. It’s not just a treat; it’s my go-to indulgence. And here's the best part: cacao, the heart of dark chocolate, is loaded with goodies like antioxidants, magnesium, and iron. It’s a daily mood booster that helps me bounce back from tough workouts and everyday stress.
Now, the recipe: black bean brownies. Don't fret - you won't taste the beans, just blend well. :) Since we don't use flour, these brownies are gluten-free and pack more fiber and protein than a typical brownie. And the game-changer? A finishing swirl of our mixed nut butter, "The High Bar", featuring a blend of almonds, walnuts, and pecans. Ready to indulge?

-
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can line 2 standard loaf pans.
Blend black beans in a food processor until smooth. Adding the oil at this stage can help.
Add remaining wet ingredients and blend until incorporated.
Sift in cacao powder and baking powder. Then, add remaining dry ingredients. Mix until incorporated.
Stir in chocolate and nuts by hand.
Pour batter into pan. Plop spoonfuls of nut butter over the surface of the batter. Using a chopstick or knife, create swirls with the nut butter in the batter.
Place in oven for at least 25 minutes and up to 40. Once a toothpick inserted comes out clean, it’s done.
Let cool in pan for 10+ minutes. Remove from pan, then carefully slice. Enjoy!
