Today's vegan mofo prompt is "Baking without Gluten".
Whilst this recipe *may* contain gluten due to the oats, it is a flour free recipe which is something that is very relevant to me as I shared in my Introduction Post! For a guaranteed gluten free version you can substitute quinoa flakes in place of the oats.
I am quite enjoying my flour free life and with delicious breakfast treats like this, it's no wonder that I am not feeling deprived at all!
It would also make a great dessert for anyone who wants a little after dinner treat!
Single Serve Black Bean Breakfast Brownie
You'll need:
1/2 cup cooked black beans
1 Tablespoon ground flax seeds
1/2 teaspoon cacao powder
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 small overripe banana
1 teaspoon vanilla
Combine all the ingredients together in a mini food processor and pulse until lightly combined (best to keep some chunks for added satiety - Chew your food!). Add a splash of water if it's needed to combine the mixture into a thick batter. The water may or may not be needed depending on the size and ripeness of your banana and how well your beans are cooked.
Pour mixture into a silicone baking mould. I press my mixture into a quarter of a large square one. It doesn't spread as it cooks so this works well. Bake in a preheated 200°C oven for 20 minutes until cooked through and edges are crispy.
Delicious served with yogurt and berries.

Showing the pieces of banana and beans so you can see it's not pulsed thoroughly. |
*I find this sweet enough with just the banana, however if you'd like a sweeter version you can add 1 Tablespoon date paste to the batter.
*Multiply quantities if you want to make a multiple serves.
How can you be vegan and serve something with yogurt?
ReplyDeleteIs there a vegan substitute you recommend?
This is a vegan homemade yogurt that I'll be sharing instructions for on another mofo day :-)
DeleteAny excuse to have a brownie for breakfast! Yum!
