Ingredients
Here’s a breakdown of what goes into this incredibly simple recipe and why each ingredient matters.
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed — Forms the hearty, savory base of the bread, providing structure, protein, and a distinctive earthy flavor.
- 3 large eggs — Provide structure and help bind the batter together, essentially replacing the role that flour and gluten play in traditional bread.
- 1 tsp baking powder — Provides the lift needed to give this bread a light texture without the use of yeast.
Instructions
This recipe comes together in just a handful of simple steps. Here’s exactly how to make it.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Add the drained black beans, eggs, and baking powder to a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the loaf is firm in the center and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Slice into thick pieces and serve toasted with avocado, eggs, cottage cheese, or your favorite savory toppings.
