Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Natural unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with 6 paper liners or grease the tin with non-stick spray.
Place the black beans, rolled oats, applesauce, honey or maple syrup, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a blender or food processor.
Blend or process the mixture until it is completely smooth and no bean pieces are visible. Scrape the sides of the blender as needed.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the blender, and blend again until combined.
If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter using a spoon or spatula.
Divide the batter evenly among the 6 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
