I know what you are thinking. Black beans? In brownies? Let me give you a reassuring and over the top YES!!! It is a lovely ingredient for vegan brownies and is quite popular for good reason.

They give the perfect consistency and provide the right amount of moisture. Not to mention, black beans are one of the healthiest beans there is! Not only are they are good source of fiber and protein, but they can also help reduce blood sugar spikes. And as a type 1 diabetic, I appreciate that!

Can You Taste the Black Beans?

You really can’t! I mean, maybe a tiny bit, but it is not like eating beans. It doesn’t taste like beans at all. If anything, it is more like a familiar taste but you can’t tell it is black beans.

The flavors that really come through are chocolate, banana, and vanilla. A hint of maple even.

Black beans are a delicious ingredient to use for vegan baking! If black beans aren’t your thing, be sure to check out these almond flour brownies for a delicious alternative!
