Beans aren’t just for savoury recipes, as these joyful black bean brownies prove. They have a little bit of welcome Mexican-inspired spice too. Here’s why they’re a must make…
- Perfect texture: Adding black beans to brownie mix might sound strange, but they add heaps of moisture and structure, resulting in a fudgy texture without flour (making the brownies naturally gluten free).
- Easy bake: Whizz the ingredients into a batter and bake – they couldn’t be simpler. Don’t worry, they don’t taste like beans!
- Extra goodness: Beans are nutrient dense – one of the best natural sources of dietary fibre and a rich source of protein and complex carbohydrates.

Easy swaps: We’ve added a touch of cinnamon and chilli for a Mexican-inspired flavour, but feel free to experiment with white chocolate chips, orange zest or peppermint essence.
