Black Bean Brownie with Cayenne Pepper
5 servings
50 minutes
Black bean brownies with cayenne pepper are an amazing combination of health and rich flavor. Originating from alternative baking experiments, this dessert has become popular among those seeking gluten-free and protein-rich sweets. Black beans give the batter a tender, moist texture, while cocoa and dark chocolate create a deep chocolate richness. Cayenne pepper adds spiciness, balancing sweetness and heat. These brownies pair excellently with a cup of freshly brewed coffee and can be a refined treat for connoisseurs of unusual flavor combinations. They can be enjoyed as a standalone dessert or complemented with ice cream and nuts for an extra touch.
