Black Bean Brownie Batter Dip
Rich, creamy chocolate dip that tastes like raw brownie batter, with 12 grams of protein and a secret ingredient nobody will guess!
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, (15 ounces), drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tbsp mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, (20g), optional for mixing in or topping
Instructions
- Prep the beans. Drain and rinse the black beans well, then shake off any extra water.
- Blend. Add the black beans, almond butter, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and salt to a food processor. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until completely smooth.
- Adjust. Taste and add more maple syrup if you'd like it sweeter. If it's too thick, blend in almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Top and serve. Transfer to a serving bowl and stir in or top with the mini chocolate chips. Serve with strawberries, pretzels, and other dippers.
