hiii brownie enthusiasts! today, i’m super excited to share a recipe that’s been a game-changer in my snack game – incredibly healthy veggie and bean protein brownies.
yes, you heard it right – veggies and beans in brownies! and trust me, it’s a delicious revolution.
texture & flavor: these brownies are the epitome of fudgy heaven!
the sweet potato and chickpeas blend into a silky smooth batter, giving you a dense, moist texture.
the dates bring natural sweetness, while the cocoa powder and chocolate chips add a rich, chocolatey flavor that’s downright addictive. trust me; your taste buds are in for a treat!
substitution options: feeling adventurous? feel free to experiment with the recipe!
swap out the sweet potato for pumpkin or butternut squash.
if you’re not into chickpeas, black beans work surprisingly well.
play around with different protein powder flavors to find your favorite combo. personally, i prefer vanilla to compliment the cocoa powder, but so many other flavors would work!
unsweetened dairy-free chocolate chips: for the chocoholics out there, finding the perfect chocolate chips is crucial.
here are some stellar brands that offer unsweetened dairy-free options: pascha is my go-to and this brand delivers the chocolatey goodness without any added sugar if that’s your thing.
how to store: once your brownies have cooled (if you can resist diving in right away!), slice them up and pop them into the fridge.
storing them in an airtight container keeps them fresh and ready for snacking whenever that sweet tooth kicks in.
they can also be frozen for longer shelf life – just thaw before devouring.
i am so excited that the brownies are sweetened with dates!
these naturally sweet wonders not only satisfy your sweet tooth but also bring along a treasure trove of vitamins and minerals.
think potassium, magnesium, and vitamin B6 – all essential for a happy, healthy body.
now, let’s talk chocolate. the cocoa powder not only adds that irresistible chocolate flavor but also brings antioxidants to the table.
antioxidants are like little superheroes that combat oxidative stress in the body, promoting overall well-being.
two scoops of your favorite protein powder amp up the protein content, making these brownies a perfect post-workout snack.
choose a protein powder that aligns with your dietary preferences and taste buds – the possibilities are endless! personally, i prefer Truvani and i do have a discount code, MARY for 20% off!

Can I omit the protein powder ?

What are the macros for your recipe ? Xx
hi friend! i don’t count macros but there are lots of apps to calculate them :).
What weight or how many cups is a medium sweet potato?
hi! not sure exactly but this recipe is flexible and forgiving, so don’t worry about exactness!
these are amazing. i’m doing a sugar detox and these are perfect! the batter itself tastes like frosting — i will be making these on repeat!!
YAYYY, so glad 🙂
This recipe is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing it. I love how easy it is and even my husband, who is not a fan of black bean brownies, loves it!
