FLOURLESS LENTIL CHOCOLATE BROWNIES!

Yum! So Delicious! Flavorful! So Nutritious! And my favorite Chocolatyyy!!! πŸ™‚

Can’t stop expressing my delight and joy about this wonderful dessert. I did not add any flour in this recipe just to make sure this dessert is purely made of lentils. πŸ™‚

Red lentils and cocoa powder sweetened with dates flavored with chocolate chips and added pecans for the crunchy bites.

Doesn’t this Flourless Lentil Chocolate Brownies sound enticing? πŸ™‚

As always I had a craving for chocolate brownies and I so wanted to eat one that day. Sweet Tooth is a serious problem which can be satisfied with healthy eating also. πŸ™‚ I was wandering around my kitchen to find something sweet for myself.

Can you guess what I found?Β  Nothing! πŸ™Β  . No wait. πŸ™‚ . I had soaked red lentils. I wonder why I soaked those red lentils a night before. WOW! Just intuition or maybe I had some plans. I don’t remember exactly because I ended up baking this Flourless Lentil Chocolate Brownies. πŸ™‚Β  So I thought of experimenting my idea of this dessert and drained water out of the lentils.

Now what?? I kept wondering and craving for brownies. I threw all the ingredients into the food processor to save time and spooned the batter into the baking pan and baked. I was impatiently waiting for my dessert and itsΒ  success!Β  I had no desire to go to the store to buy the brownies neither I had patience to cook something else for myself.

HMM. Tough situation. πŸ™‚

Can’t resist chocolate.Β  πŸ™‚

I told you having a sweet tooth can be a serious problem. Hahaha.

My family also appreciated and loved this dessert especially my daughter and I succeeded in finding a new way to serve lentils to my family. πŸ™‚

Flourless Lentil Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients

  • 4 cups red lentils (soaked and drained)
  • 2 cups mejdool dates (pitted)
  • 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp. flax oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • ΒΌ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • Β½ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven at 375 degree Fahrenheit and prepare 9 inch square baking pan by greasing it.
  2. In a food processor combine all the ingredients (except pecans and chocolate chips) and process until smooth.
  3. In a mixing bowl pour the batter and with a spoon mix pecan and chocolate chips.
  4. Spoon the lentil brownie batter into the baking pan spread evenly.
  5. Put the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Take out the baking pan out of the oven and let it cool before cutting into desired sizes.

Notes

Make sure to soak Red Lentils overnight. Measure the lentils after soaking overnight and properly drained. If you soak 2 cups of red lentil it will become 4 cups. (Do not include any water in the recipe).

2 cups pitted dates equals to 20 dates approx.

Flax oil can be substituted with olive oil.

Regular chocolates chips may also be used in place of mini chocolate chips.

Pecans may be substituted with walnuts if desired.

Can be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Just microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving to freshen it up.

    Tried the brownies recipe, but mine came out very dry (maybe ice cream on the side). I will try again, but I will add some unsweetened applesauce. The recipe I printed didn’t have the pan size, so I used 11×7 that could have contributed to the dryness I suppose. Looking at other brownie recipes, they use way more oil

      Hello Cris, thank you for trying this recipe. The pan size is mentioned in the instructions in the website. The pan size i used is 9 inches square for this recipe. Also, this recipe slightly chewy and as you said taste great with ice cream. These brownies are however more chewy and slightly dense as compared to other brownies because of the ingredients used. Hope this helps.

      Hi Pratibha,
      Thank you for your interest in my blog and the recipes. To replace eggs you may use silken tofu or chia seeds soaked in water. 1 egg = 1/4 cup so accordingly you may use the substitution. Increase the quantity of dates by 1/4 cup also when using egg substitutes. The taste may vary slightly from the original recipe but this dessert will still taste delicious. Hope this helps.
