Indulge in nutrient-rich spiced black bean brownies with a mango chia glaze. A deliciously unique healthy dessert, perfect for clean eating enthusiasts!
Ingredients
- • black beans (canned, drained and rinsed): 1 1/2 cups
- • rolled oats (gluten-free if needed): 1/2 cup
- • unsweetened cocoa powder: 1/4 cup
- • honey or maple syrup: 1/2 cup
- • coconut oil, melted: 3 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • baking powder: 1 teaspoon
- • cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • cardamom: 1/4 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • ripe mango, peeled and cubed: 1 cup
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • water: 1/4 cup
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- 2 In a food processor, combine the black beans, oats, cocoa powder, honey, coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- 3 Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- 4 While the brownies are baking, prepare the mango chia glaze. In a blender, combine the mango cubes, chia seeds, lime juice, and water. Blend until smooth and set aside to thicken.
- 5 Once the brownies are done, let them cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
- 6 Spread the mango chia glaze evenly over the cooled brownies. Slice into squares and serve.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Exotic Spiced Black Bean Brownies are perfect alone or paired with a scoop of coconut milk ice cream for a delightful contrast of textures. Add a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts for additional crunch and flavor. For a refreshing beverage pairing, try a chilled glass of hibiscus tea or a citrus-infused water to complement the fruity notes of the mango glaze.
Storage Tips
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. For longer storage, you can freeze the brownies without the glaze for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and add the glaze before serving to maintain freshness and flavor.
