Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed well)
- 2 scoops Macro1 Nutrition ONE Protein, chocolate brownie
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup Truvia sweetener*
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
- 2 whole eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted (or canola/olive oil))
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet)
- 2 tbsp. peanut butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Add all brownie ingredients to a food processor or powerful blender. Food processor works best! Blend until a thick, smooth batter forms. Make sure the beans are completely blended and no large pieces left.
- Line a 6×9 inch glass baking dish with foil. Spray with nonstick spray. Spoon brownie batter into the dish. Spread evenly with a spoon. Sprinkle the top with 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips. Press slightly into the batter.
- Bake at 375 for about 25 minutes. Check at 20 minutes because ovens may vary and you don’t want to over-bake and dry out. Center will be slightly under done, but it makes them gooey and delicious.
- Once baked, use a spoon to spread melted chocolate chips evenly over top of the brownies. Add 2 tbsp. of melted peanut butter to a small plastic bag. Cut the end off. Use bag to pipe/drizzle peanut butter over top of brownies.
- Cut into 10 brownies and enjoy!
Notes
*Truvia is a stevia/sugar blend. It has less sugar than regular granulated sugar, but still bakes like sugar. It can be found in your local grocery. If you don’t have it/can’t find it at your grocery, you can just use 3/4 cup regular granulated sugar instead.
