Ingredients

1 Person

1 can

kidney beans
30 g

Chocolate Vegan Protein or Chocolate Whey Protein
30 g

cocoa powder
1 tsp

baking powder
70 g

stevia or erythritol
1 pinch

salt
50 ml

water (or espresso)
optional

30g chocolate chips

Preparation

1

Preheat the oven to 180° C.
2

Drain the kidney beans in a sieve and rinse well with fresh water.
3

Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend to a smooth batter. Occasionally scrape the mix down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Blend until totally smooth.
4

Grease a 20×20 baking dish or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips.
5

Bake for 30 minutes. The protein brownies will still be soft when hot, but will firm up as they cool.
6

Don’t cut the brownies until they have fully cooled! Once cool, cut into pieces. They can be stored in the fridge and taste even better the next day.
