Recommended Posts

Like most girls I know, chocolate, especially chocolate Desserts are a weakness. I am no exception. My Aunt is a chocolatier and all my life chocolate was the masterpiece at all holidays, birthdays, celebrations and even at a few memorials. The answer to any of life's problems has always been "chocolate!" Followed by "wine!"

I am going to make this recipe and wanted to share it with you all. Hope it makes someone very happy!

These delightful flourless brownies can satisfy your chocolate craving with only 3 grams of carbs per serving.

    Delicious fudgy and healthy brownies made with black Beans and avocados. Sounds weird, tastes awesome! Gluten free and vegan.
    INGREDIENTS
    • 1 large flax egg
    • 1 - 15oz can low sodium black Beans, rinsed and drained
    • 1/2 medium to large ripe avocado
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
    • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
    • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips, plus 2 tablespoons for sprinkling

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 8×8 inch baking pan.
    2. Place flax egg, black bean, avocado, vanilla, and brown sugar and process in a food processor until smooth. Add in cocoa powder, coconut oil, baking soda, and baking powder and process again until smooth. Batter will be thick. If batter is way too thick and won't process, you can add in a tablespoon or two of almond milk. This batter needs to be very thick in order to produce fudgy brownies. Fold in chocolate chip or sprinkle onto batter then transfer to prepared pan and use a spatula to spread evenly to sides. Sprinkle top of batter with 2 tablespoons of remaining chocolate chips.< /li>
    3. Bake for 22-30 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out somewhat clean. We don't want these to dry out, but we also don't want them completely raw either! The top of the batter should be completely set and no longer jiggle. Cool pan completely on wire rack then cut into 12 bars.
    NOTES
    You may be able to sub the brown sugar for honey, agave or maple Syrup. I would reduce to 1/3 cup though.

    The brownies are best went made in a food processor so that beans can blend together better.

    The brownies are best when served at room temperature or cold. They should be stored in the fridge. I love eating mine chilled.

    You can also freeze these and thaw out for an easy treat.

    I like these. http://www.eatmeguiltfree.com/products/chocolate-brownie-12-pack-box

    Sweets aren't really a thing and chocolate isn't either but when you get tired of Protein shake and Quest bars they are a nice change of pace. I like that that they are portion controlled.

          Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        2. LadyVeteran1

          Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

        Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

          Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
