<\/p>\nHey No-Meat Athletes! It’s Christine, back with another healthy dessert recipe! For this Sweet-Tooth Friday I made a batch of vegan black bean brownies. I’m going to cut to the chase- for me this recipe is hands-down the best Sweet Tooth Friday yet! They’re even better than regular brownies! If you haven’t tried any of my recipes yet, drop what you’re doing and get baking!<\/p>\n

I adapted this recipe from a King Arthur Flour recipe. I made a few changes like using whole wheat flour, raw sugar, and more coffee. Instead of adding chocolate chips (which add more sugar) I decided to use hazelnuts instead. The hazelnuts add a seriously fabulous “nutella”-like flair.<\/p>\n
In my research on black bean brownies, I came across a nice tip. Someone mentioned there that it was a good idea to wash the salty can liquid off the beans, then return the beans to the can and fill with fresh clean water. This is what I did with great success. However, I’m not sure if this would be different with a pre-packaged mix, but when I mixed the pureed beans and water with the dry ingredients, there was not nearly enough liquid to make a batter. I ended up adding another cup of water to get it to the right consistency.<\/p>\n
Without further ado, I give you my Hazelnut Mocha Brownies:<\/p>\n

I don’t think I can accurately express over the internet how freakin awesome these brownies are! I said it before and I’ll say it again: these are better than ANY brownie I’ve had, including the ones laden with tons of butter and eggs. It’s time to put your bean prejudices aside and give this recipe a try!<\/p>\n
Happy Sweet-Tooth Friday!<\/p>\n
xoxo, Christine<\/p>\n
