Imagine black beans... But wait, don't dismiss them just yet! These humble legumes become a secret ingredient for incredibly fudgy brownies. Rinse and drain a can of black beans, place them in a blender or food processor, and you're ready to begin your culinary adventure!
-
Break three eggs into your blender or food processor. Add the melted coconut oil, which will provide a natural sweetness and a silky texture. To add a hint of sweetness without going overboard, pour in a quarter cup of maple syrup or agave.
-
Now, unsweetened cocoa powder. A quarter cup will be enough to add a chocolatey depth to your recipe. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to bring it all together.
-
To give your brownies an airy boost, add and stir in 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt to your batter. The secret to achieving a light, fluffy texture!
-
Now it's time to add an irresistible crunch. Take a half cup of raw organic cashews and roughly chop them. Add them to the brownie batter and gently stir with a spoon, letting yourself be carried away by the delicious textures coming together.
-
Your batter is ready to be turned into delicious brownies. Pour it into a square pan previously lined with parchment paper, and smooth the top gently.
-
Place your mixture in the oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) and bake the brownies for about 25 to 30 minutes, until they reach the perfect doneness where a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few crumbs.
-
Once baking is complete, remove the fudgy brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Resist the temptation to cut them immediately, as patience will be rewarded with an even fudgier, more delectable texture.
-
Finally, the long-awaited moment has arrived. Remove your brownies from the pan and cut them into squares. Savor every bite of these fudgy black bean and cashew brownies, congratulating yourself for discovering a recipe that is both delicious and healthy.
