A Healthy Brownie
I made a healthy Chocolate Brownie...
Do you believe me?
Well I did!
Not only is it gluten free it's filled with protein and fiber AND it is also right around 100 calories!
Yep it's true.
Now I won't like this brownie is not my favorite brownie on the planet. BUT it is a good brownie. The typical brownie is filled with butter and sugar. That is what makes it taste so good. I've found some healthy substitutes for the starch, fat, and reduced the sugar as well as used a natural sweetener in it's place.
If you ever find yourself in a chocolate mood but don't want the guilt of a traditional brownie. Give these a whirl. You won't be sorry!!
Black Bean and Avocado Brownies
1 15 oz can black bean drained and rinsed
1/2 an avocado
2 eggs
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup of sugar
1 tbs instant coffee
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
In your food processor add in avocado and beans. Puree.
Scrape into the bowl of your mixing bowl, beat in eggs, honey, and peanut butter.
Once that is combined mix in the remaining ingredients. Spread into a greased 8x8 pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a tooth pick is inserted and comes out clean.

I need to try these brownies! My husband buys the WW ones and they are getting SO expensive. These look good!
ReplyDeleteHow many brownies are in an 8x8 pan ? Do you cut them small or large ?
ReplyDeleteI cut them into 12 pieces... that is about 115 calories. If you do the larger sized... say 9 squares your around 150 calories. Give or take a few.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try these, they look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhat temp on the oven? Maybe I'm just missing it ;)
