Dark Chocolate Black Bean & Avocado Brownies

Now that we are done with all of our Holiday Goodies, we may have developed a taste . . . or, in my case, a slight addiction . . . to an afternoon treat. My Dark Chocolate Black Bean and Avocado Brownies are just what we need! They are super rich, moist, and decadent, AND they are packed with nutrients, fiber, and protein so that they won’t spike your blood sugar. Most importantly – they are delicious!

These brownies are gluten-free and can be made vegan by subbing out flax eggs for regular eggs. If you’re nervous about how black beans and avocado will taste in brownie form, have no fear! There is a good amount of cocoa powder to give them so much richness; you’ll never know they’re packed with magnesium-boosting black beans and avocado. The secret is to ensure that you’ve blended your mixture until it is completely smooth.

The preparation is very similar to my recipe for “Protein Packed Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins,” and the result is the perfect blend of fudgy, chewy, and cakey. I like that they are just sweet enough, without being too sweet.

I hope you give these a try! We all deserve a little afternoon treat, and these brownies work FOR our health goals rather than against them. I know you’ll love them as much as I do! Let me know in the comments when you bake them!

Thank you for reading along, Friends!

I’ll see you back here tomorrow. 😊
