INGREDIENTS

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup black beans or 1- 15 ounce can
  • 2 tablespoon large flax eggs 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal + 6 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 10 tablespoon dates soaked
  • 2 tablespoon coconut sugar taste test
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F / 176 C.
  • If using a metal pan, lightly grease the mini muffin pan. You can also use a 12 slot muffin pan.
  • Make the flax egg by combining flaxseed powder and water in a bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes.
  • To the food processor or blender, add all ingredients and puree - about 3 minutes - scraping down the sides as needed. If the brownie batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of water and blend again. The brownie batter consistency should be not too thick but not runny.
  • Transfer the brownie batter into the mini muffin pan. Use a spoon to smooth the top of the brownie batter.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are dry and the edges start to pull away from the sides.
  • Transfer from the oven and let cool in the muffin pan. Gently remove with a spoon.
  • Optional to top with peanut butter and salt.
NOTES

Notes

You can also substitute the flax egg with 1 regular egg.
You can use a regular size muffin pan instead of the mini pan. This will make 12 muffins and the cooking time will increase to about 20 minutes.
