Healthy Chocolate Raspberry Brownies with Video [Gluten Free and Dairy Free]

I can imagine that you just read that headline and went “What?!”.

Well. These brownies are healthy, and packed full of protein. They have no gluten, no grains, no dairy, no refined sugar and can be easily made vegan (replace the eggs with flax eggs!).

And they are fudgy, moist (sorry!), chocolatey and just plain yummy.

Their secret ingredient is beans. I’ve made bean brownies a couple of times on the blog before, a few years ago, and what I loved most about them is that no one could tell they had anything drastically different about them. Because no, you can’t taste the beans!

Bean brownies came back into my life last week when I visited an awesome new vegan deli that has opened up in my area. They sell vegan Reuben sandwiches, croissants, and plenty of other delights, and a chocolate raspberry brownie was what I chose for dessert.

It reminded me so much of the bean brownies I had once made. It was rich and fudgy, yet somehow light, so even though I had one after devouring a huge sandwich, I didn’t feel sick or overly full.

I was craving them all week, and decided I had to recreate them for you (but mostly for me!)!

I filmed myself baking these, so I hope you enjoy the video, the recipe and these guilt-free brownies. X
