It’s no secret that I’m a chocoholic. I have a minimum of one small square of 80% dark chocolate every day- sometimes more..

It’s one of my only vices (other than pasta, of course!) I’m always looking for new ways to bake with chocolate…but somehow, I always find myself falling back to brownies.

Gluten Free Mocha Brownies

Brownies are definitely one of my favorite desserts, and judging by how popular my Paleo Salted Almond Butter Brownies are, it seems like you like them too!

There are few things better than biting into a warm fudge-y, chocolate-y dessert. Unless of course.. you add coffee to them like I did with these Healthy Mocha Brownies. Hellloooo new fav treat!

Dairy Free Mocha BrowniesI would say that I’m equally in love with chocolate as I am with coffee. So why not pair them together in a dessert? Sure, it’s not as epic of a combo as chocolate and peanut butter, but it’s pretty darn close!

Most brownies are loaded with a ton of sugar, butter, and other not so healthy ingredients. There’s nothing wrong with indulging in these types of treats from time to time – but if you’re like me & chocolate is a staple in your diet, you’ll need a healthier alternative for your dessert needs!

Thankfully I’ve come up with the perfect solution: Healthy Mocha Brownies.

Easy Healthy Mocha Brownies

These healthy mocha brownies  don’t need a lot of oil, butter or sugar. Their ingredients are pretty simple, and include a secret healthy ingredient… blackbeans!

The blackbeans give these brownies a yummy, chewy texture and some added protein and healthy fats (win win!). These healthy mocha brownies are also gluten free AND dairy free!

Next time you’re looking to make this popular dessert, skip the box mix or sugary homemade recipes and try this recipe. You won’t be disappointed + you can trick all your friends & family into eating something healthy!

  2. These sound delicious!!! I assume this recipe is for a 9×9 baking pan? If the recipe was doubled and went in a 9×13 pan, would the baking time be the same?

  9. I totally love chocolate too! And it’s usually not the dark kind I eat either. These brownies look really good. I love that they have beans in them too! I did pin it for later!

  10. Chocolate and coffee – how can you go wrong! These sound absolutely delicious and I know I’d be sneaking more than one when no one was looking. lol I’ve made a black bean brownie recipe before and was surprised at how good it was. Going to pin to make soon.

  15. I love chocolate too! I have to have a few dark chocolate chips after most of my dinners. They sound perfect to help my chocolate cravings.

    • You should make these and put them in the freezer! Sometimes I’ll put them in mini muffin tins, make a bunch, and freeze them so that when the chocolate craving hits… I’m covered 🙂
