These brownies are gluten-free, contain roasted beets, and the base of the batter is black beans! However, they taste just as good as any brownie made with wheat flour and dairy products. No one would ever suspect they have veggies and legumes in them!

Recipe type: Confection
Serves: 15 brownies
Ingredients
  • Take a ½ measuring cup and fill it almost to the top with brown rice flour. Fill the rest with coconut flour.
  • ⅛ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp melted Earth Balance
  • ⅛ cup Bee Free vegan honey (maple syrup would work as well)
  • 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • ¼ cup pureed roasted beet (you want a baby food consistency. To roast the beet, just cut off the ends, drizzle some coconut oil, wrap it in foil, place on a baking and roast in oven for 1 hour at 375 degrees. Puree in a blender with some splashes of water)
  • 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • ¾ c cocoa powder
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • heaping ½ c raw sugar, slightly pulsed (I used a coffee grinder)
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
  • Dandie's marshmallow minis
Instructions
  1. Homemade Graham Cracker Crust: Mix dry ingredients together, making sure there are no clumps. Add wet ingredients in and mix well. Grease your pan with some Earth Balance. Put dough in pan and use your fingers to make a thin layer over the entire bottom of pan. Bake for 6 minutes at 350 degrees.
  2. Black Bean Brownie Batter: Blend all the ingredients together in a blender, food processor, or mixer. I used a hand blender. Add water if too thick (I added about 1 tbsp). Should be the consistency of slightly less thick chocolate frosting. Pour over the graham cracker crust and spread out evenly. Bake for 20 mins at 350 degrees.
  3. S'mores Topping: Remove pan from the oven. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the brownies. Bake another 5-10 minutes (or until the chocolate is melted). Take out and smooth the melted chocolate evenly over the top of the brownies. Change the oven setting to broil. Sprinkle marshmallows over the dish and broil for 1 minute or until marshmallows are lightly browned.
