Ingredients
- 1 can (250g) black beans, drained and rinsed*
- 1 1/2 scoops MusclePharm chocolate casein protein powder
- 5 tbsp. (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (82g) sugar and stevia baking blend**
- 2/3 cup (150g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup (64g) chocolate hazelnut butter
- 2 tbsp. milk (any milk is fine)
- 3 tbsp. (45g) mini chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp. (32g) chocolate hazelnut butter (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Add drained and rinsed black beans, Greek yogurt, egg, and milk to food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Add the rest of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips and chocolate hazelnut butter to be used for topping. Blend again.
- Fold in chocolate chips with a spoon or by pulsing a few times until incorporated.
- Line a 6×8 baking dish with foil. Spray foil with cooking spray. Pour batter into baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes. The brownies should still seem slightly gooey in the middle and a little undercooked.
- Let cool for about an hour. Heat up remaining chocolate hazelnut butter in the microwave. Spoon into a small ziploc bag. Cut the end off the bag and use to drizzle the chocolate hazelnut butter over the top.
- Cut into 12 brownies and enjoy!
Notes
* Weight of the black beans is after they have been drained and rinsed. Make sure to rinse well so you don’t taste the salty liquid in the brownies.
** If you don’t have this, use 1 cup of regular sugar. Do not substitute for pure stevia. The texture will not come out right.
