Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or melted butter)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-Ins

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini muffin liners for easy removal.
  2. Blend the wet ingredients: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the black beans, eggs, melted coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Add the dry ingredients: Add cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the blended mixture. Process again until the batter is evenly mixed and all ingredients are incorporated with no lumps remaining.
  4. Stir in chocolate chips: Remove the blade or transfer the batter to a bowl. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fill the muffin pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Top each bite with a few extra chocolate chips if desired.
  6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the brownie bites to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make sure to rinse the black beans well to remove any tinny flavor.
  • For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Store brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Brownie bites taste even fudgier the next day!
