Chocolate Bean Protein Brownie

I’ve been on the hunt for an afternoon snack that is high in protein, dairy and wheat free….. And of course that tastes great. I played around with a few recipes and came up with this one. It’s super easy to make and is a healthy snack for morning or afternoon tea. 

Chocolate Protein Bean Brownie

15 serves

1 tin organic black beans – rinsed

½ rolled oats

¼ tsp salt

1 drop culinary Cinnamon Bark Essential oil or ¼  tsp cinnamon powder

3 eggs

 1 tsp baking powder

½ cup coconut oil (melted)

½ cup date syrup (or other sweetener)

½ cup stewed apple (tin apple is fine)

½ cup cacao powder

½ cup chocolate chips (optional)

Combine all ingredients (except chocolate chips) together in a blender till smooth. Stir in chocolate chips and pour into a lined slice tray. Cook in medium oven (180°c) for approx. 30 to 40 minutes until firm.

Allow to cool and enjoy.

PS: If you would like an extra protein hit add 1 to 2 tablespoons of protein powder to the mix.
