“Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.”
At my house, we always follow this rule 
.
Me being a chocoholic, I love chocolate in every form, but my absolute favourite are chocolate.covered orange peels or orange-flavored chocolate.
The other day my sister was making a cake and I suggested she cover it in orange-flavoured chocolate: the result was incredible!
So that same night, while I was falling asleep, an idea came to my mind: orange flavoured brownies!
A few days later I decided I would try making black bean brownies and add some orange flavouring and see what would come out!
Orange Brownie
1 cup black beans, cooked and drained
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 +1/8 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup applesauce
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp oil
1-2 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 tsp orange extract or a few drops of orange essential oil (which is what I used)
Place everything in a blender or food processor and process until everything is well blended.
Place in baking pan and cook for at 350 F for 30 minutes, or until tooth-pick comes out clean.
The result is a dense and moist brownie with a hint of orange. Not too bad!
Question of the day:
Do you like chocolate covered fruit? which one is your favourite?
As I said before, my favourite are chocolate covered orange peels!
Oh my gosh, this is such a cool recipe! Tweeting this for future reference
I adore chocolate covered strawberries. I’ve been so tempted to go buy some recently…
chocolate covered strawberries, yes! when my cousin got married a few years ago my sister and I helped my aunt cover in chocolate strawberries, dried apricots, and a whole lot other fruit…that was so fun! and obiously not all the chocolate covered fruit made it to the wedding
Wow you use black beans in those brownies? I’m intrigued. They sound delicious!
yes, they work well and you can’t taste them! also chickpeas work great!
Oh my goodness, these look so good!
hey shannon! thank you so much!
You seem to have all the recipes I’m looking for! I tried to make an eggless black bean brownie recipe but I’ve never been successful at it, it always turned out like cake. I like how these are low fat too, I think this will be added my baking to-do list
I’m happy you like them Jessica!
