4 ultimate nutrient-dense easy brownie recipes for every occasion
1. Chewy Chocolate Brownies
First things first, let’s start with a plain and simple three-ingredient chewy brownie recipe by Kirbie’s Cravings. It’s made with unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and egg whites—(yep, that’s it)— and still tastes rich, decadent, and incredibly chocolatey.
According to researchers, chocolate has been scientifically linked to boosting longevity and serving as a natural mood booster. Say. No. More. But before we bolt to the candy aisle at the store, keep in mind that it’s the cocoa in chocolate that contains the most antioxidants thanks to its flavonoid content. To that end, dark chocolate (and cocoa powder) will have a higher concentration of cocoa, as opposed to white or milk chocolate. Cocoa also contains anti-inflammatory properties that can help inhibit or delay cellular damage either combating free radicals in the body.
All to say, these brownies that are made with cocoa powder have it all: Taste, benefits, and require minimal effort to make. Talk about a triple whammy.

2. Black Bean Brownies
We’re all for finding simple ways to turn some of our favorite foods into a slightly better version of themselves. In today’s iteration of this, we’ve discovered that you can easily turn a boxed brownie mix into a glowed-up, high-protein version with just one simple ingredient: beans (another longevity-boosting essential). But, as the saying goes, don’t knock it ‘till you try it. Indeed, this recipe two-ingredient black bean brownie recipe by Simple Nourished Living deserves all of the hype.
To make these high-protein brownies, the recipe developer blends a can of black beans into a puree before adding it to the boxed brownie mix. The moisture from the beans helps to bind the dry ingredients together, which transforms into a delicious, decadent dessert packed with protein and fiber. Geeee-nius.
