Dessert

These are fudgy and delicious brownies, with a hint of coffee and a pretty peanut butter swirl. They’re gluten free, easily vegan, and contain no refined sugar, making them ideal for those who are diabetic. Black beans make a wonderful base for this brownie, not only adding terrific amounts of protein and fibre, but also ensuring a lovely, fudgy texture. Be sure to use a blender to create a smoothness to the batter - you want the black beans completely puréed. These are delicious at room temperature, but taste even better when refrigerated.

This refreshing vegan smoothie is perfect for warmer weather. It is creamy without having to add any dairy products, thanks to the addition of white kidney beans. The beans add fibre and protein to help keep you feeling full as well as vitamins and minerals like potassium, iron, and magnesium that contribute to good overall health. This smoothie is also high in Vitamin C from the orange juice and mango.

With as much as 6 grams of fibre and 8 grams of protein in ½ serving, white kidney beans taste great in many sweets including these flourless pumpkin-spice muffins with cream cheese frosting!

Enjoy a fibre-rich treat made with protein-packed adzuki beans. The light and creamy texture is complemented perfectly by the dense chocolate flavor, making this recipe worth a try.
