Devour this flourless healthy brownie guilt free – it’s only 77 calories!

I find it just lovely every time I manage to hide ingredients that no one really expects and then get to just sit and watch people that are normally picky eaters eat my disguised food. If they knew they’re basically eating a salad instead of the brownie they think they’re enjoying, they would’ve never trust me again.

Healthy hidden veggies

Hiding veggies in cakes is one of my absolute favorite things to do. I replace most of the flour with veggies in order to make them extra healthy and cut calories. Most of the time the texture turns out just awful but I certainly do not get discouraged because of it. Most cakes and breads can still be enjoyed even if the texture is a bit off. This time I think I managed to create a nice and silky texture that suits a brownie.

Melts in your mouth
As they’re not as tender as classic butter/flour brownies, they still have a interesting texture that almost melts in your mouth. That’s to be excepted of course since the two main ingredients are rather unusual in cakes: avocado and kidney beans. Avocado is key when it comes to creating smooth texture and adding a “fatty” feeling.

Recipe rundown

2 T (30 g) Fiber syrup such as this syrup from Sukrin or VitaFiber.
1/2 scoop or 3 T (15 g) Trec nutrition sesame whey
1 medium sized avocado (135 g)
1 can drained and rinsed kidney beans (230 g)
3 T cocoa powder
Sweetener to taste
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 tsp salt
5 g sesame seeds for garnish

Okay, all you have to do is basically process all the ingredients at once in a food processor, grease a 8×8 inch or 22×22 cm big baking pan and pour your smooth batter into the dish. Top of with sesame seeds for extra crunch and bake at about 350 F or 180 C for 25-30 minutes.

Another avocado and bean creation that can be easily served at a party or just as an everyday dessert is this silky fudge tart.

  1. Great rendition of a brownie, my friend! I agree, unconventional baking can definitely lead to unconventional textures of the final product, but I have also found that brownies tend to be a bit more forgiving than other types of baked goods. You just gotta take it for what it is and make it work! 😉
