Black Bean Brownies

Black Bean Brownies are chocolate brownies made with black beans in place of some or all of the flour, often served as a slightly healthier twist on the classic dessert and popular in bakeries and home baking for those seeking more plant-based ingredients. They are known for a fudgy texture and rich chocolate flavor while incorporating pulses into a sweet treat. Nutritionally, Black Bean Brownies provide a meaningful amount of dietary fiber — 7g per 100g — from the beans, and supply plant-based protein and minerals that you don't get from a typical flour-only brownie. Compared with conventional brownies, they tend to deliver more fiber and a better protein profile thanks to the beans, but they are still a sweet baked good and can contain added sugar and saturated fat, so portion control is sensible.
