These gluten-free cannelini bean brownies hit all the right notes and are refined sugar free, vegan, high protein, and completely fat free! It uses only pure plant ingredients, not even baking powder!
When I first put this recipe together, I was so surprised, because even without baking powder, it rose a bit! There are a few hidden ingredients that make these cannelini bean brownies extra delicious and also very balancing for gut health as well!
First, we have the cannelini beans! From a Western nutrition perspective, they are high in protein, iron, and magnesium. But in Ayurveda, cannelini beans are high in Vata dosha, or Air energy. In Ayurvedic nutrition, we can balance our Pitta dosha and Kapha dosha with foods high in Vata dosha. That is how we balance health, by eating the opposite of whatever dosha is imbalanced.
For example, if you have excess mucus, this is an issue of excess Kapha dosha. To balance Kapha, you can eat foods high in Vata dosha, like beans and raw cacao. So, YES, CHOCOLATE IS GOOD FOR YOU! The bitter taste helps to balance your Earth energy (Kapha). The only reason why chocolate bought in the store can cause imbalance is because of the refined sugars. But with this recipe, you can have a delicious chocolate Ayurvedic vegan dessert made fresh at home! AND this dessert is great for weight loss since it is completely fat-free, oil-free, and nut-free.
Kapha dosha is naturally cold, so it is also balanced by foods that are heating in nature, like cinnamon, cayenne, and ginger. That is why this recipe has a little bit of cinnamon, to get the heat going and reduce your excess Earth energy, which causes heaviness, water retention, weight gain, and fatigue.
These cannelini fudge brownies have both beans and plantain flour – two fantastic ingredients to balance digestion for Pitta and Kapha types. The natural sugar cane and cinnamon help to add a bit more “heating” quality, or Pitta dosha, so that Vata types can digest it well too. For more Kapha recipes, click Kapha Recipes.
