Pin It! Black Bean Brownies: Calories and Nutrition Facts Per Brownie: Calories: 115 Fat: 5.5g Carbs: 15g Fiber: 3g Protein: 2.5g WW Points (new system): 3 points Above info was calculated using gram measurements and DOES include all of the chocolate chips (which you should include too ;)). This recipe is gluten-free as long as you make sure to buy certified-gf quick oats, baking powder, and pure vanilla extract. Substitution Notes: I’ve only tried the brownies as written. Therefore, I really can’t predict substitution results, such as replacing the quick oats with rolled oats, flaxmeal, flour, protein powder, or anything else. But feel free to experiment, and please report back if you do, so others can learn from your experiments. If you substitute honey for the maple syrup, it might have a slight honey flavor (which is perfectly ok if you don’t mind that). Just be sure to not serve them to strict vegans, as many vegans don’t consume honey. I haven’t tried subbing peanut butter for the oil… but I kind of want to! If you try it first, please let me know how it goes. Make any other substitutions (such as omitting the fat or chocolate chips) at your own risk.
