This recipe is from doTerra oils, so the oils used here can be consumed. Your classmate, Darlene, sells doTerra (essential healing oils) (which I have experienced great success with!) I haven't made these brownies myself, so if you do, let me know how they taste! I have eaten red bean ice cream in Little Tokyo which is delicious. And black bean sweets, also wonderful.
Black bean brownies are a delicious and nutritious twist to a traditional chocolate brownie. You might be nervous about baking with black beans, but don’t be–they have a very mild flavor and are extremely rich, creamy, and full of protein. You can also boost the flavor of your brownie with essential oils such as Peppermint, Wild Orange, Cinnamon, or even Lavender.
Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained, and rinsed
2 large eggs
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cup honey
1/3 cup coconut oil
½ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
4 drops Peppermint essential oil
¾ cup chocolate chips, divided
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place all ingredients, except for chocolate chips, in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
3. Pour batter into large bowl and stir in ½ cup chocolate chips.
4. Pour into greased 8×8-inch pan and top with ¼ cup chocolate chips.
5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool and cut into pieces. Store in refrigerator.
When I had a very bad headache due to some sort of flu, I used the doterra peppermint oil on my head, and in seconds, the headache was gone! I also took doTerra oils during this flu and got better so quickly.
ReplyDeleteI've tried the doTerra oils and really like them. As for the brownies, I am not much of a baker, but they sure look good! Maybe oneday....
ReplyDeleteDear classmates,
ReplyDeleteI'd like to share the knowledge of Ayurveda with you, never heat honey, because it leads to a toxic chemical reaction that cannnot be absorbed by the body ( it is okay to add honey to lukewarm tea). So from this perspective it would be better to use any kind for sweetening than honey - you than would have to find out the amount of it.)
All the best for your health. Barbara
Thanks for you sharing, Barbara. Your classmates Johanna and Natascha also know a lot about Ayurveda and work with it. They make wonderful organic clothing drenched in Ayurvedic herbs. Much love, Judy
