Description

These Fudgy Black Bean Brownie Bites are a delicious and healthy twist on traditional brownies, made with black beans for added protein and fiber. Sweetened naturally with maple syrup and coconut sugar, these bite-sized treats are rich, chocolatey, and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without any guilt. They’re quick to prepare and baked in mini muffin tins for easy portion control.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar or regular sugar
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet for a richer flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a mini muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownie bites.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a food processor, combine the black beans, cocoa powder, rolled oats, salt, maple syrup, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and baking powder.
  3. Blend batter: Blend all ingredients until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure an even mixture without lumps.
  4. Add chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips gently to distribute them throughout the batter without breaking them up.
  5. Fill muffin tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top for nicely sized bites.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are set but still fudgy to the touch.
  7. Cool: Let the brownie bites cool in the tin for 10 minutes to firm up slightly, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use paper liners for easy removal and less mess.
  • Dark chocolate chips provide a richer, less sweet flavor compared to semi-sweet chips.
  • Store brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • These brownie bites can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
  • For a nut-free version, ensure the coconut oil and chocolate chips are processed in nut-free facilities.
