Black Bean Brownies Recipe No Sugar

Searching for black bean sugar free brownie recipes?  We have a delicious black bean brownies recipe no sugar to share, yum! 

I was craving brownies on Saturday and decided I would experiment in the kitchen.  I mean why not?  Sometimes if you want something, you just have to try... 

I had black beans and dates and wondered how they would be together?  I have had black bean brownies before and they were pretty good.  The thing I was not so sure of was throwing in dates... but that did not deter me from giving it a try.  I am staying with my no sugar added recipes because sugar is terrible for your body.  

Ingredients:

1. 1 15 oz can black beans drained 
2. 1 8 oz package pitted dates
3. 1/2 c cocoa
4. 1 T olive oil
5. 1 apple peeled and cored
6. 1 t vanilla
7. 1/2 t baking soda
8. 1/2 t sea salt
9. 2 eggs
10. 1/2 c dark chocolate chips

I got out my Vitamix and decided that may be the best to use with the dates.  I dumped the package of dates in the Vitamix along with the  black beans.  I let it do it's magic...

Then I added in the cocoa, olive oil, and apple.  I put the lid back on and let it continue to do the magic it does. 

If you have never used a Vitamix, you would be amazed at all of the recipes you can make with it.  Soups, shakes, mixed drinks, cookie dough, ice cream, the list goes on and on.  I love that I can take basic ingredients and it mixes them all together until you have a smooth consistency.  

Do you know I could have thrown in the entire apple and it would have be ok too?  I just prefer the idea of knowing I peeled and cored the apple.  

Lastly, I added in the vanilla, baking soda, sea salt, and eggs.  Put the lid back on and mixed all of the ingredients together.  

Let me tell you, that batter was smooth... I do not think I have ever seen a batter so smooth to be honest.  

I used my handy spurtle and poured the batter into the greased Wilton cake pan.  I sprinkled dark chocolate chips on the top and placed into the oven for 28 minutes at 350 degrees.

You know they say to follow a recipe when you bake?  What if you do not have a recipe to follow?  I tend to make things up as I go and see if things work.  I will say these brownies were quite tasty and so moist!  

I enjoy trying my hand at making baked goods while not using flour or white table sugar.  I also enjoy working with fruits, almond flour, and now black beans.  I am so glad I gave blogging a shot so I am pushed outside my comfort zone.

I tend to not be the most outgoing person in the world... but shy people have a lot to say too.  Writing is my outlet in getting what I have to say out to others.  

Over the years I have had many very outgoing friends.  Funny how opposites attract.  Mr. Vintage?  He is a shy soul like myself, we work well together in most everything we do.  Just two old souls working together to see this English cottage at her best.

When I photograph recipes in the kitchen, I get a lot of questions about our backsplash.  You can read about it to see how we made over 1980 tiles to better suit our tastes.  Can you believe we only spent $15 on the whole project.  We did have a few items on hand, but $15 is amazing when you are talking about making over an entire backsplash!

Have you ever tried black beans in baked goods?  What do you do to push yourself outside your comfort zone?  

This blog has been a wonderful way to try new things and then share them all with you.  I thank you for reading our posts and making this dream possible.  You do not know what that means to us.
