Now, let’s gather our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup cooked lentils (brown or green, well-drained)
- 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or your favorite)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional but highly recommended)
Alright, let’s get down to business and bake these up!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a bowl, mash the cooked lentils until smooth, leaving some chunks for texture if you like.
- Add the nut butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract to the lentils. Mix well until everything is combined into a thick batter.
- If you’re feeling extra indulgent, fold in the chocolate chips now!
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. You want them fudgy, not fully dry!
- Let them cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
And voilà! Your delicious Lentil Brownies are ready to enjoy. Trust me, no one will suspect these bad boys have lentils in them. They’re rich, chocolaty, and oh-so-satisfying. Perfect for a snack, dessert, or anytime you need a sweet pick-me-up. Enjoy, fam!
