Serves: 12 brownies
Ingredients
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed well
  • 2 scoops Ascent cappuccino casein protein
  • ½ cup Truvia baking blend*
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ½ cup milk (I used unsweetened almond)
  • 1 container (150g) vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 shot espresso, cooled (decaf or regular)**
  • ¾ cup + 2 tbsp. unsweetened cacao powder
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • dark chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Add all ingredients to food processor except for chocolate chips. Process until a thick, smooth batter forms. Make sure all black beans are blended well and there are no chunks. May need to scrape down the sides of the food processor to a couple times to ensure everything gets blended well.
  3. Line a 9x9 baking dish with foil. Spray with nonstick spray. Use a spoon or spatula to pour batter into the pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with dark chocolate chips.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes uncovered, then converted with foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. Slice into 12 brownies and enjoy.
Notes
*If you don’t have the Truvia baking blend which is ½ cane sugar, ½ stevia, use ¾ cup natural cane sugar or coconut sugar.
**If you don’t have an espresso machine, just use 2 ounces of very strong brewed coffee.
