Black Bean Banana Brownies (with 2 Ingredient Ice Cream)

Who doesn’t love a good brownie recipe!? We had a few tins of black beans and I felt like something chocolatey. I’d heard of these black bean brownies before, so I thought I’d give it a go! They took no time at all to mix together, and only 25 minutes in the oven! Voila! In about 30 minutes time – Black Bean Banana Brownies! What’s more, I whipped up some super quick 2 ingredient ice cream to go with it! (waiting for it to freeze is the hard part!)

These Black Bean Banana Brownies with 2 Ingredient Ice Cream are also Gluten Free! Whoop! Not all our sweet recipes are gluten free on our Blog but we do have a few, including our Inferno Cookies and Raw Coconut Banana Lemon Cookies – or, if you prefer something savoury, try our Lentil Cashew Loaf (with gluten free breadcrumbs).

This recipe is made with mashed banana, (hence the name in the title) but if you’re not keen on banana, I’ve tried it with apple sauce and they both work just as well. Just substitute 1/4 cup of apple puree instead of the mashed banana. Easy!

If you love brownies (with ice cream), you should definitely give these a go! And please share this recipe with your friends!
