GREEN BEAN BROWNIES GF

Gluten Free Green Bean Brownies


Have you tried making brownies with beans? This might not sound appetizing but give it a try, you'll not be disappointed!

Mostly they used black bean but this isn't available in my pantry so make use of dried green bean aka mung bean. You have to soak the bean overnight, they will expand in volume and easily get 1 1/2 cup of green bean after soaking.  Rinse and drain then process them into thick paste.

Since this Green Bean Brownies is gluten free, have used chick pea and ground rolled oat but if you have no issue about wheat  in your diet,  half cup of plain flour and  1/4  cup of corn flour can be used.

Also mashed banana can be replaced  with  1/3 cup of pumpkin puree or mashed  sweet potato.

These Green Bean Brownies are rich in fiber and protein but surprisingly no one can tell that  it was made with green bean.

My family loved them and wanted more after eating them.

they look wonderful, and who in a millon yrs. would think they are made from green beans and garbanzo beans. Amazing! I have the recipe for the black bean ones and still have never made them. My
daughter has had them at work and says they are awesome. One of these
days I am gonna have to try these.
After cooking for most of my life,
and I am now in my 60's, I am just not as into cooking as I used to be............lol
Thanks for sharing this cause it is a good reminder cause I am trying to eat gluten free......
as much as I can.

Blessings, Nellie

I've tried red-beans brownies before :)
It sounded tiered (very) but it turned out quite nice
So I'll bet this brownies are tasty as well :)
They sure look good!

Unknown said...

I'm taking your word that these take good! They look super moist & delicious, but yes beans can be a turn off...I would totally make them though & I am sure the result would be worth it :)
