Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups black beans cooked and rinsed - equivalent to 1 (15 oz) can; you can also make these with garbanzo beans, kidney beans, or navy beans with minor variations in flavour
  • ½ cup + 1 tablespoon cane sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa
  • ½ cup mashed banana = 1 medium banana
  • 3 tablespoons oil I like to use grapeseed oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

  • Lightly grease the muffin tray or line with paper liners.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. 
  • Add the main ingredients (beans, cocoa, sugar, banana, oil, vanilla, baking powder) to the bowl of your food processor and pulse on high for 1 min or until smooth and well blended.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, being sure to smooth the batter within the cup to prevent air pockets.
  • Top with your choice of toppings (I like to add a slice of banana and some crushed nuts or shaved coconut).
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes, until you see the brownies pull away from the sides of the muffin cups.
  • Serve warm with ice cream and berries, or allow to cool 10 min before storing.
  • Possible Toppings: Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, fruit, cacao nibs, shaved coconut
