Kidney Bean Brownies


Today I am here with a "special" recipe that has done the tour of a lot of blogs.

I am talking about the famous brownies filled with beans, instead of flour.
These brownies are completely gluten free and delish.

I took major inspiration here.

You will need:
  • 1 cup and 3/4 cooked red kidney beans
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • 3 tbsp canola oil
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar powder
  • 90 g dark chocolate (bain-marie)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Handful of flaked almonds (optional)
  • chopped dark chocolate
  • a pinch of salt
  • food processor or blender 
Preheat your oven at 175 °C.

Melt the dark chocolate in a sauce pan on a low heat.
In the meantime rinse en drain the beans, then put them in your food processor and mix until your beans get a texture like a puree (I added some water).

Put your pureed beans in a bowl and add all the ingredients except for the flaked almonds, the chopped dark chocolate and the melted chocolate. Once everything is well mixed, add the melted chocolate and the chopped chocolate. 

Pour the mixture in your lined baking dish.

Sprinkle some flaked almonds on top.

Put in your oven and bake between 25 and 30 minutes.

Allow your brownie to cool before to cut it. 



PS. They are even better after chilling a whole night in the fridge.

Until next time (actually until next recipe)!
