Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that is 60–70% as sweet as table sugar yet it is almost non-caloric, does not affect blood sugar, does not cause tooth decay, and is partially absorbed by the body. It is less likely to cause gastric side effects than other sugar alcohols due to its unique digestion pathway.
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
- ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¾ cup granulated erythritol
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup quinoa flour
- 1½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. instant coffee
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ cup + 1 Tbsp. unsweetened applesauce
- 1 (15½ oz.) can no salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 Tbsp. canola oil
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 9-inch brownie pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir the flaxseed and almond milk together, set aside to thicken.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside.
- In a blender, puree applesauce, black beans, oil, vanilla and thickened flaxseed mixture. Puree until all of the beans have been liquified. Pour into a large bowl.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet in thirds, whisking thoroughly each time. The batter should be thick.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes. To test if the center is cooked, tap the surface. If it’s firm and springs back, it’s ready.
- Let cool for about 30-40 minutes in the pan, then flip onto a drying rack top-side/ugly-side down. Peel off the parchment paper and let cool completely before slicing.
