High Fiber Brownies

High Fiber Brownies

Introduction

These brownies have a few secret ingredients that boost the nutrition, while the dark cocoa powder and mini chocolate chips keep the rich flavor that you crave in a brownie. These brownies have a few secret ingredients that boost the nutrition, while the dark cocoa powder and mini chocolate chips keep the rich flavor that you crave in a brownie.
Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    1 (15.5-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed (or 1 1/2 cups cooked dried beans)
    2 cups water
    1/2 cup prunes
    1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/3 cup dark cocoa powder

    1/2 cup oats
    1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
    1/2 t salt
    1 1/2 t baking powder
    1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Tips

I prefer the richer flavor of dark brown sugar, but you can use light if that's all you have.
Swap vanilla extract for almond or peppermint extract to alter the flavor. (If you use almond extract, mix in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or almonds to the batter. For minty brownies, add a couple of chopped candy canes.)
These have 6 g fiber and protein each--and just 3 g fat. This is a treat you can feel good about eating. The result is a thick, fudge-like brownie that's rich and delicious.


Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place the prunes in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to start to break them down.

Add the black beans and process until smooth, adding a cup of the water in a steady stream to thin the mixture. The beans and prunes will be smooth with a few chunks.

Add the brown sugar and vanilla extract and pulse a few times to combine.

Add the oats, flour, salt and baking powder to the food processor and pulse until combined.

Add the remaining cup of water in a stream until a thick but smooth batter has formed. (You might not need all the water.)

Add the chocolate chips and pulse a few times to mix in.

Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, then pour in the brownie batter.

Bake 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing into 12 brownies.

Note: For a party, slice into 24 brownies.

    This certainely is not your everyday brownie and I thought it was going to have a bit of black bean flavor but it does not. Though not your usual chocolatey brownie; it is very satisfying. Try it I think you'll like it. - 4/11/10

    I am going to try this recipe today.. a couple questions... first, is "t" teaspoon or tablespoon? (for salt and baking soda) Also, in the ingredient list it says baking soda; however, in the directions it says baking powder. As someone very new to cooking, I don't know which to use :) Help, please! - 3/17/10

    Reply from SP_STEPF (3/17/10)
    t always means teaspoon; T is tablespoon
    I clarified the recipe; it should be baking powder.

    Thanks for the recipe. Adzuki beans would work really well also if you are finding you don't like the texture with the black beans. Adzuki beans are the beans they use in red bean paste in asian cooking and they are very high in fiber as well. - 2/9/11

    REALLY unappetizing, and I was so excited and love black beans: it just wasn't a brownie! :( Re-made substituting 3-4 bananas for the black beans and adding 1/4 cup regular sugar: much more of a treat! I'd rather have a smaller piece of something really yum than lots of something unsatisfying :) - 5/10/10

    Thanks for this great high fiber recipe. I am always looking for them. I left out the chocolate chips. I wish I had kept them in will make again with chips. Good recipe for a special treat. Nice size so smaller 24 pcs will suffice, now I must freeze them to stop the urge to try again.Pat in Maine - 3/21/10

    Turned out Yummy! When I was making them I was worried because the batter tasted bitter, so added 1c. of chocolate chips instead of 1/2c. They are bitter sweet and great for people who find regular brownies too sweet. Directions leave out where to add dark cocoa powder - make sure you put it in. - 2/16/11

    This is a recipe that I definately will never make again. They are brown in color and that is the only thing that makes them even resemble a brownie. My husband who loves brownies says that he will never eat another one of them. I even added some walnuts to the batter, hoping they would be better - 2/11/11

    I have been making Dr. Fuhrman's black bean brownies (adding 1/4 to 1/2 c of avocado for added creaminess and a dash of esspresso powder) but this recipe looks really good and maybe more "authentic" - looking forward to trying it. If you think too dry, try adding some avocado, should make great!

    These are interesting! You don't need a whole bunch to be satisfied like your normal sweet. I would call them a sweet that doesn't make you feel guilty or bad. Very satisfying, with the little sugar in them, it curbs the sweet toothe. Great recipe! Reminds me more of good bread then a brownie. - 1/14/12

    These are not like normal brownies which was good because they were not too sweet but I dont think I cooked them long enough. They tasted a bit raw. I have eaten one each day and I am getting more used to the flavour and they do make my chocolate cravings go away. noone else liked them though. - 3/13/12

Do not be fooled, there is still some bean taste but oh do you get the chocolate taste. Not for everyone but give it a try! - 7/29/12

    I suggest soaking the beans and the prunes (separately), preferably overnight. For those who cannot eat refined/added sugars, soak dates in a bowl overnight and that will give you about the same flavor. I like this recipe, but as I am not vegan and on the elimination diet, honey is just fine for me! - 4/25/13

    I made this today doubling the sugar, upping the cocoa to 1/2 cup, swapping in milk for a cup of the water bc I'm not vegan, and 3/4 C of sweetened applesauce for another 1/2 C. of the water. I omitted the choc. chips, and that was probably a mistake, because it's not really got much flavor to it. - 10/13/12

    Too many calories for the taste, for me. But an interesting way to get more fiber. - 12/8/11

    The texture is a bit strange, but it's pretty good. My 2-year-old loves them. - 11/30/11

    I made these tonight and they are good :o) I agree with other reviewers that it could be more sweet but it is really good when you want brownies. - 11/28/11

    These are awesome! I made the almond variation. They don't really taste like brownies, more like a chewy, fruity granola bar, but I love them. - 11/22/11

    Genius! I have four little boys and I'm always looking for ways to "sneak" nutrients into their snacks. I can't wait to try baking these! - 11/22/11

    I was glad, at first glance to find a brownie recipe but looking at the list of ingredients, I'm afraid that I would not like it and some comments tell me that it would not be my favorite recipe at all. I am sorry. - 11/22/11

    Definitely needs some tweaking to work on texture. Taste was good- not overly sweet. The "price" is right calorically but they were gummier than I would have liked. I think I overcooked them. Would try again, but need some work:) - 7/20/11

    Very dense. Not very sweet. Taste is quite different from traditional brownies. Served them to six kids. Only three kids ate them. - 4/29/11

    What a healthy treat! And a great substitute for my FiberOne bar that I eat each day! My kids and husband did not approve, though! But I loved making these and eating them! I had three friends try them. One wasn't into it, two said, "Yummy" and were interested in the nutrition facts! THANKS!!! - 4/19/11

    I really like these. I think when people see brownies, they think sweet. They are not sweet but more rich and chocolatey. I would rename them a chocolate fruit bar. I keep them in my refrig for my chocolate attack. Also I added couple drops of chocolate stevia to ensure chocolate flavor. - 3/3/11

    I made these and didn't tell the boys what was in them. They smell like brownies, they look like brownies, and the boys even ate a few. However, they just don't taste that good. I even added 3x the choc. chips. I ended up tossing about 3/4 of them. No one would touch them after they ate 1 or 2. yuk. - 2/26/11

    these were just alright. The chocolate flavor was there..but they were rubbery and mushy all at once. Will do in a pinch for a craving..but won't got through the trouble again. - 2/23/11

    I didn't like them by themselves. I added a tablespoon of cool whip on top and it was eatable. Would not make them again. - 2/19/11

    The texture of these brownies was horrible. The flavor was not bad at all. I wonder if using whole wheat pastry flour instead of the whole wheat flour would solve the texture problem? - 2/18/11

    I really didn't like this one. I found it tasted more like black beans than brownies and the prunes didn't give it enough sweetness. I also increased the amount of cocoa in the recipe and it still wasn't chocolatey enough for me. - 2/14/11
