Oreo Peanut Butter Brownies

Okay, these Oreo peanut butter brownies are not exactly healthy, but they’re insanely delicious!!

Besides, they’re super chocolatey, fudgy, and rich. Chocolate heaven, here I come!

Plus, they’re vegan and pretty easy to make. Oh, and except from the Oreo topping they’re even gluten-free. I know they sure don’t look like they’re gluten-free, but they’re made with black beans instead of flour.

Baking with beans might sound a bit crazy, but it actually isn’t! When I first heard of black bean brownies, I wasn’t exactly eager to try them. I just couldn’t believe that you could use them to make delicious chocolate brownies. But I was still kinda curious, so one day I thought what the heck why not just give it a try and see how it turns out. And let me tell you, those vegan black bean brownies totally blew my mind!

INGREDIENTS:

For the vegan black bean brownies:

2 15 oz cans black beans (~3 cups)
4 tablespoons ground flax seeds
8 tablespoons water
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup agave
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
2 tablespoons almond milk
1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
1 tablespoon chunky peanut butter

For the Oreo peanut butter topping:

6 Oreo cookies, crumbled
2 tablespoons peanut butter, melted
1/4 cup unsalted peanuts
3.5 oz dark chocolate

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
Thoroughly rinse and drain the black beans. Grind the flax seeds in a food processor or use store-bought ground flax seeds. Add 8 tablespoons of water and set aside to thicken for about 2 minutes. Then make the batter: Combine all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a food processor and process until smooth.
Lightly grease a baking tray and pour in the batter. Add the chocolate chips to the batter and spread evenly. Stir in one tablespoon of peanut butter with a fork.
Bake for about 40 minutes. Don't worry if the brownies appear to still be a bit soft, they'll get harder once they cool down. Allow the brownies to cool down.
Once the brownies have cooled down, melt the chocolate either in the microwave or over the stove. Melt the peanut butter in a small pot. First put about half of the melted peanut butter on top, then cover them with the melted chocolate and immediately sprinkle with the crumbled Oreos and the peanuts. Add the rest of the peanut butter on top. Let the topping harden for about an hour before you cut the brownies in pieces.
