I planned creating a fava bean brownie recipe since ages but couldn’t find the time. But finally … I did and I’m truly happy with the result. They taste delicious, are gluten-free and high in proteins without adding any powder or supplements. The beans are doing all the good work. Also they are fat-free. So you won’t have a bad conscience eating a dozen of it :).
How are you guys? Wanted to thank you all again for your entry’s into my #fwr1year party. I’ll work on your wishes for upcoming blogposts!
I’m not yet sure where to start. It might be about post-workout and pre-workout meals, my travel goals for this year or about behind the scene details.
But first, we are going to have awesome brownies :).
- 120 g white fava beans (200g cooked)
- 7- 8 tbsp oat milk (100-120 ml)
- 4 tbsp coconut sugar (60 g)
- 4 tbsp wholegrain rice flour (60 g)
- 2 tbsp raw cacao powder (30 g)
- 1 dash of salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Pre-heat oven to 200 ° C
- Prepare beans according to the instructions on package.
- Place cooked beans and oats in a bowl and mix blend until well combined. Add coconut sugar, rice flour, raw cacao powder and salt. Mix again until creamy.
- Stir in baking powder and place the dough into a lined baking dish.
- Bake for about 25-25 minutes (depending on the oven) or until you can pierce the brownie cake with a fork bringing it out dry.
- Let the brownies cool down completely, then lift them out of the tray using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy!

These brownies look amazing! I love that you added fava beans. I bet the brownies tasted very delicious. 🙂
Oh thanks so much Ela. I’m glad that I found another way to eat beans :). Yes I have to admit that I love them :). Much love
Is it oat milk or just dry oats? Could almond milk replace the pats?
Oat milk :), yes almond milk or any other milk is fine too.
I just tried this & for some reason the brownies are not rising. Am I doing it wrong? Which size tin did you use?
Hello Emily, ohh they do not really rise. Just a tiny bit. How did they taste though? You can take a bit more baking powder if you want them to rise more.xX
I made these with raisin paste instead of sugar and tried using 1 tsp baking powder, but they still didn’t rise up very much, not nearly as much as the picture shows. I used 395F equivalent to 200C because I live in the US and my oven is measured in Fahrenheit only and it took about 5 more minutes to come out clean, so I’ll probably cook on 400F for 20 minutes and see if that works better next time. Thank you for the recipe as I wasn’t sure what to do with the big 10lb/4.5kg bag of fava beans I have besides use them in savoury dishes.
ohh thanks for your feedback. Ovens are so different.
I followed this recipe and ended up having to double the time it took to cook and also ended up with whole fava beans in the brownie- were they meant to be mashed/ blended at some point- perhaps it should be a little clearer… taste was great though!
thank you so much for your feedback! This helps a lot!
my oven might be different!
Can i use cocos flour instead of rice flour?
I haven’t tried but it should work.
