Healthy Vegan Avocado Black Bean Protein Brownies Recipe (1)

What do you do when you go round a new friend's house for the first time and discover she lives on a farm pretty much bursting with fruit trees? Well, if you're me, you run over to the avocado tree and look sorry for yourself telling her how much you love avocados but how super expensive they are so you never really buy them until she gives you a great big bag of them to take home.

Then, when you've had avocado on toast for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a week, you decide you need to start being a bit more adventurous with your cooking and add them into your next batch of healthy vegan brownies before you turn insane from overdosing on avocado on toast.

Before we take this any further, I'm going to tell you that these healthy vegan brownies arenot for avocado haters. You totally can't taste the black beans in this recipe (just like you can't taste them in this healthy black bean brownie recipeor how you can't taste the pumpkin in this one-bowl healthy pumpkin brownies recipe) but you can definitely taste the avocado.

So if you're not a fan, maybe try one of my other healthy brownie recipes. I've got so many there's bound to be at least one you'll fall head over heels in love with!

But if you do like avocado (hello my new best friend!) then you're in luck today. These are the most incredible healthy vegan brownies I've ever had. They taste so fudge-like and indulgent you'd never everever guess that they're good for you or packed full of veggies.

Did you know that beans count as veggies and one of your five a day? It's true!

But anyway, back to the super powers of these healthy vegan brownies. So not only are they beyond delicious and loaded with veggies, but they're also packed with protein and fiber so they genuinely fill you up. Not bad for a chocolate brownie that comes in at just 100 calories, right?

I make these healthy vegan brownies with one of my favourite kitchen products of all time - my NutriBullet. All you've got to do is pop all the ingredients in and turn it on to mix the batter. That's honestly how simple it is. Even if you're an alien who's never stepped foot inside a kitchen before, you can totally make these.

One other little tool I find super helpful to make these healthy brownies is my multi-size cake pan. You can use it to make cakes anywhere from 1" x 1" up to 10" x 10" by moving the dividers. You can make a full batch of these healthy vegan brownies by setting both dividers to 8" or make a half batch by setting them to 5". It's so awesome I never bother using any other cake pan.

  • Add the rest of the ingredients into the NutriBullet and blend until you've got a smooth batter.

  • Pour the batter into the lined baking tray and bake for 20 minutes, until the tops of the brownies are just starting to dry out and become firm.

Notes

These brownies are definitely best eaten cold straight from the fridge.

If you slice the brownies up into individual servings and wrap them in plastic wrap, they will keep perfectly well in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer of up to six months.

You can also halve the recipe, bake it in a 5"x5" tin for 15 minutes and slice into 4 brownies if you want a smaller batch.

    Can I use ground flax to replace the chia?

    • Nicola

      Hi Marie! SO sorry for the late reply! Yes, you can definitely use ground flax to replace the chia seeds.

    What else can I use to substitute for chia seeds?

    Reply

    • Nicola

      Hi Lynne! If you want to keep the brownies vegan, you can substitute ground flax seed. If the brownies don't need to be vegan, you can substitute 1 medium size egg and omit the milk.
