Avocado Black Bean Brownies

August 3, 2017

FullSizeRender 7

Who doesn’t love a warm brownie and a glass of milk- it was one of my favorite snacks as a kid, and still is! Well, if you have been following me on social media you know I am in the middle of a 30 day vegan challenge (post to come) and unfortunately a brownie and milk doesn’t really fit into that eating plan. Soooo I went on a hunt to find the perfect vegan brownie to go with a tall glass of almond milk and this recipe by Ambitious Kitchen does not disappoint! Scroll down for the recipe and to watch Trish and I make the recipe Live!

Ingredients

  • 1 large flax egg
  • 1 15 oz can black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1/2 large avocado
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp vegan chocolate chips for sprinkling

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

Grease a baking dish- I used an 8 x 8 in pan. Combine flax egg, avocado, vanilla, black bean and brown sugar in a food processor until smooth. *The food processor is the key to making the black beans smooth so your brownies have the right consistency. Add in cocoa powder, coconut oil, baking powder and baking soda and blend until smooth. Your batter will be thicker than a normal brownie batter but if it becomes too thick to process, simply add in some almond milk to thin it out. Fold in the chocolate chips and transfer to your baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the additional chocolate chips. 

Bake for 22-30 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. Cool pan on a rack and try to resist eating them right away 😉 haha. Pour a glass of (almond) milk and enjoy!

Tonight, we are having a Mommy & Me Movie Night! I Tonight, we are having a Mommy & Me Movie Night! I used my @amazon Echo Show 15 to add snacks to my shopping list and find new recipes to try out. #ad The backyard is our happy place and watching a movie under the stars is my favorite way to spend a summer evening. My @amazonfiretv Stick 4K Max makes it possible to watch movies and shows from anywhere! When I say "Alexa, bring my backyard to life" our twinkle lights turn on and our backyard is transformed in seconds, thanks @alexa99 ! Swipe to see how it turned out!
I am beyond proud to be Olivia’s mom. I say this I am beyond proud to be Olivia’s mom. I say this constantly, but she’s not a normal 6 year old (if you’ve spent any time with her, you’d agree). She teaches me something new about life on a daily basis and I take no credit for what a beautiful soul she is. She came into this world that way. 

Her comedic timing always keeps me laughing (the other day she told me I needed a time out, right at the perfect moment). 

Right now, I’m in a hotel room in Pittsburgh… wishing tomorrow was spent enjoying time with my family. Being a working mom is sometimes difficult and lonely but I’m grateful that she makes me feel like it’s Mother’s Day every single day. 

Happy Mother’s Day! ❤️
I am so honored to team up with @KeterOfficial for I am so honored to team up with @KeterOfficial for #KeterGreenSpaces: the first of many projects that aim to beautify our communities and create a greener future for the next generation. To kick things off, we dropped into my hometown of Miami this week to build a brand new outdoor classroom for North Miami Elementary. In partnership with @EducationFundMiami to bring the project to life, the students now have access to functioning outdoor gardens, proper weather-proof storage, and relaxing communal spaces that foster an environment where learning and creativity can flourish.

Next up, creating and outdoor garden for us here at the house! 🍃 🍅

Last year, the citrus trees at my house hardly had Last year, the citrus trees at my house hardly had any fruit. Actually, the orange tree had absolutely none. This season, I can’t believe how many oranges and lemons I have. It’s more than ever before!!! I’m sure there is a logical explanation for it, but the hippy in me wants to believe it’s because I came out of a mental funk last year. 

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
