Ingredients
- 1 15 ounce can black beans rinsed and drained
- 2 large flax eggs 2.5 tablespoons ground flaxseeds + 6 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted (or sub any other oil of choice)
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- heaping 1/2 cup raw sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- optional toppings: walnuts pecans or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Lightly grease a muffin pan (I used spray coconut oil)
- Prepare flax egg by combining flax and water in the food processor and pulsing a few times…let rest for a few minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients (minus toppings) to the food processor and puree for about 3 minutes, occasionally scrapping down edges. You want a very smooth consistency, similar to chocolate frosting. If batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at at time….but, do not make it too runny!!!
- Evenly distribute batter into muffin tin and add optional toppings.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tops are dry and edges pull away from the side of the pan.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes. Gently take brownies out of the muffin tin with a fork. They are very fudgy in the insides, that’s the point! Don’t worry about them being undercooked, they’re vegan :)
- Store in an air tight container.
Notes
The original recipe recommended that you pulse the raw sugar in a food processor to create a very fine texture. I skipped this step and they still came out delicious :)
You’re supposed to get 12 brownies however, I only got 9. I must have ate too much of the batter, whoops :)
These would taste even better with a scoop of vegan chocolate peanut butter banana ice cream :)
Make your weekend even sweeter with a batch of these :)
