GUYS MY ROOMMATE AND I JUST MADE THE MOST DELICIOUS BLACK BEAN BROWNIES OMG IM OBSESSED!! THEY ARE SO GOOEY AND DELICIOUS AND DON’T TASTE LIKE BLACK BEANS AT ALL! SO RICH AND GOOEY AND AHHHH!!
Black Bean Brownie Cups Recipe
1 can black beans (drained) 1 cup chocolate chips 2 packets stevia (~2 teaspoons stevia or 4 teaspoons sugar) 2 tablespoons vanilla 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted) ¼ cup cocoa powder ¼ tablespoon cinnamon 2 chia eggs (1 tablespoon chia seeds + 3 tablespoons warm water = 1 chia egg)
Put everything in a food processor (or at the very least the black beans because you don’t want chunky sweet black beans instead of brownies..)!! Then scoop into cupcake liners (makes 12) and bake at 350 degrees for ~17 min!
ENJOY THE AMAZINGNESS!! Share with your friends and family and EVERYONE!! Share the power and protein of black beans!!
Made these for dessert tonight, with alterations. I’m impressed! You can definitely tell they’re not made with flour, but I honestly don’t care. The texture is somewhere between cakey and fudgey and they’re delicious hot and fresh out of the oven.
Alterations:
I don’t have easy access to canned black beans, so I used dried and cooked them in a pressure cooker, then allowed them to cool completely before use.
I used two eggs instead of two chia eggs.
I added a tsp of instant espresso powder to really crank up the chocolate.
I don’t have a muffin tin, so I just used a regular glass baking dish, ungreased.
I would like to make these again, but denser (personal preference), so I’ll experiment with that. I feel like chocolate frosting/ganache would make a great topper, if you’re into that.
Edit: IMO, these are better at room temperature than fresh out of the oven; cooled, they have the density I like, so I won’t mess with the recipe any further.
YAS!!! I told y’all this was amazing - and honestly so easy to throw together!! I am NOT one for complicated recipes at all!
My all-time favorite black bean brownie recipe- it’s fall and comfort season so it’s time to bring these back and have another batch to enjoy snuggled under a blanket

Hello everyone. In the coming weeks, I’m going to be uploading recipes that are currently backlogged. I have a few meal prep recipes, a few desserts, and more. Thank you for being patient with me. If you would like, you can still donate here: (x).
Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
1 medium yellow onion, diced
Seasoning blend (you may or may not use the full blend): 1 ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp granulated garlic, 1 tbsp granulated onion, ½ tbsp smoked paprika, 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp hot paprika, 1 tsp chili powder, ½ tsp ancho chili powder, pinch of red pepper flakes
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen sweet corn
2 tbsp adobo chipotle sauce (the sauce that comes from a can of chipotle peppers in adodo)
Fresh cilantro
Olive oil
Directions
In a large skillet, heat a few tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
Once the oil has come to temperature, add in your onions and cook them until they become translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
Once your onions are translucent, add in the ground turkey, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Season liberally with the seasoning blend and continue to cook.
Once the ground turkey is cooked through, reduce the heat, taste, and adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
Add in the adobo sauce and adjust the seasoning once more.
Add in the black beans and corn and cook until warmed through.
Adjust the seasoning a final time and remove the finished meat from the heat.
Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Meal prep as you’d like – great with brown rice for a healthy “burrito” bowl style meal.
