Show your heart some love by adding black beans to your breakfast! Just add a dollop of yogurt and a handful of berries for a quick morning breakfast or dress it up with ice cream and chocolate drizzle for a decadent dessert!
2cups(500 mL) cooked or canned black beans, drained 7 rinsed (see notes)
2cups(500 mL) 1% milk
1/3cup(75 mL) ripe bananas
1/4cup(60 mL) maple syrup, or more, to taste
1tsp(5 mL) vanilla
2cups(500 mL) quick oats
1/4cup(60 mL) cocoa powder
1tsp(5 mL) baking powder
1/2tsp(2 mL) salt
1/4cup(60 mL) chocolate chips, plus more, for topping
Toppings
fresh berries and yogurt
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9”x 9” (23 cm x 23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
Add beans, milk and banana to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Alternatively, use a potato masher to mash to a smooth consistency. Transfer mixture to a bowl and add 1/4 cup (60 mL) maple syrup and vanilla. Stir well to combine.
In a small bowl, combine oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the mashed bean mixture. Add chocolate chips and stir until just moistened. Taste and add additional maple syrup, if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth to an even layer. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips or a small handful of oats on top, if desired.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing with a damp knife.
Serve with a dollop of yogurt, fruit and a drizzle of honey, or enjoy as a decadent dessert with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Notes
A 19 oz (540 mL) can of black beans, drained and rinsed yields 2 cups (500 mL) cooked beans.
We hope you give the recipe a try, it’s soooo good!
I made this recipe and enjoyed it! I eat a LOT of baked oatmeal and cacao/banana is one of my favorites. The pureed black beans added a nice creaminess. Note – I did substitute organic sprouted rolled oats for the quick oats. I also added some peanut butter powder and 2 eggs for an additional protein boost. I cooked for 45 minutes. Thanks for the recipe!
