Fudgy, frosted black bean BROWNIE BITES

A recipe by Naturally Nina

So rich, soft + chocolatey with a creamy choc frosting and crunchy hazelnut choc topping. Just YUM

I LOVE using beans + chickpeas in baking for extra nutrient goodness and they add a really great texture and richness

Each brownie has 11g protein, thanks to the addition of @hempfoodsaustralia Vanilla Hemp Protein!

Cacao powder, the hemp protein + beans are all fantastic sources of magnesium, which is important for so many biological functions of the body, including energy production, muscle contraction + relaxation ~ making these a perfect recovery snack before bed

This recipe makes 6!

RECIPE:

  • 1 can black or kidney beans, drained + rinsed
  • 2 tbsp flaxmeal, mixed with 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 tbsp (35g) cacao powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 40g Vanilla Hemp Protein

For the frosting:

  • 100g vegan yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp cacao powder
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Hemp Protein
  • Hazelnuts + dark chocolate, for topping

Preheat oven to 190°C and prepare a muffin tin.

Add all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Divide equally between 6 muffin holes.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, then remove from oven + allow to cool completely before removing from tin and frosting!

For the frosting: Mix together ingredients until smooth, then spoon onto brownies and top with chopped hazelnuts + chocolate.

ENJOY!!
