Why Black Beans Work So Well in Vegan Baking
Black beans aren’t just for chili & tacos—they’re a powerhouse ingredient in plant-based desserts. They create a smooth, creamy base that mimics the structure of flour & eggs, making them ideal for gluten-free, egg-free recipes.
Plus, black beans are:
- High in protein for extra nourishment
- Rich in fiber for digestion & fullness
- Packed with iron, magnesium, & folate
We love them so much, we also use them in our Black Bean Brownie Recipe—a fan favorite from the Pascha Pantry that's just as moist & deeply Pascha Chocolate-y as this cake.

Pro Tips from the Pascha Pantry
Want to make this Flourless Black Bean Pascha Chocolate Cake your own? Here’s how to level it up:
- Pro Tip #1: Feel free to sweeten it up by swapping in a lower percentage Pascha Chocolate Chip—like our 85% or 70%—or combine a few different Pascha Chocolate chip percentages to create a flavor combo that speaks to everyone at the table.
- Pro Tip #2: Looking for a little more sweetness without adding more sugar? Try substituting our 70% Pascha Chocolate Stevia Chips—perfectly sweetened with organic stevia for a sugar-free alternative that still tastes indulgent.
