Why you’ll love these gluten free protein brownies

Brownies are one of my all-time favorite desserts, but I love these because they taste amazing while also having the perfect fudgy yet soft texture. I honestly could eat them every week! 

And I know what you’re thinking “but will they taste like black beans?” and I promise you they won’t! Black beans are there for the texture, while also being a great source of fiber, plant-based protein, potassium, and antioxidants. They taste so so good, and I promise, you won’t taste the black beans.

While some store-bought brownies taste good, many of them are loaded with sugar, butter, and not-so-healthy ingredients. These gluten free protein brownies are a great alternative as they’re the real deal. They’re moist and soft and have the perfect taste. They are also made with healthier ingredients.

If you love brownies and are looking for healthier gluten free, high in protein, yet delicious recipe you are absolutely going to love these! They’re so easy to make and the best part is, they’re healthier. 😉

Ingredients you’ll need

• Black beans – can be canned, store-bought black beans. Excellent source of protein, fiber, and quality carbs.
• Cocoa powder – perfect to have the chocolate taste. A great source of antioxidants as well.
• Gluten-free quick oats – I like using quick oats as they’re easier to digest.
• Salt – to balance out the flavors.
• Maple syrup – this acts as the binder (just like eggs would) while also adding some sweetness.
• Coconut sugar – coconut sugar, for a refined sugar free recipe. If you don’t have coconut sugar you may also sub for brown sugar.
• Coconut oil – use refined coconut oil to avoid it from smelling or tasting like coconut. If you don’t have coconut oil, feel free to use any neutral-tasting oil.
• Vanilla extract – to help enhance the chocolate flavor.
• Baking powder – to help the brownies rise.
• Chocolate chips – I used 70% dark chocolate chips. If you want to make this recipe dairy free sub for dairy free chocolate chips for dairy free or vegan option
