Well, add head cold to a thyroid that’s trying to murder me. I am better than I was yesterday when I felt like death warmed over.
I will get better.. and yes, it’s a cold and not Covid because I am smart enough to know the difference and I am getting better on my own and not a team of over worked nurses and Doctors [Bless those poor bastards]
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
After like 15 years of running and lots of time spent nursing injuries, I was extremely burnt out and did nothing for a few years.
Looking to get back into it as a routine, and I’d love to find some active accounts to follow and re-form that encouraging community I once had here!! I still have like 18k followers that stuck around from 2012 but pretty sure no one is active or at least interacting with me.
A comic about looking after yourself, your loved ones and your mental health during the tough times ahead. I started this last November, when people were hurting so hard it was difficult to function - I’m sorry it took me so long to finish it.
