Sul Sul, Gerbits. Today we are going to be making a healthy recipe, using black beans. I was skeptical about any recipe using black beans. Searching through Pinterest you are bound to find one or two recipes for black bean brownies.
And I had thought for the longest time that it would just taste weird. Like I had originally thought that it would have an overwhelming bean flavor. And I am not one to like the bean flavor, so I was a little bit afraid. But, this recipe does not taste like beans at all. It just tastes like chocolate chip muffins.
So let me encourage you to make these really good, really healthy muffins.
Preheat the oven to 350℉.
Spray muffin tins with non stick spray.
Place black beans and 1 egg in a food processor. And process them until the beans are well blended.
Add the other 2 eggs. The recipe calls for maple syrup. I didn’t have enough maple syrup for this recipe so I found a substitute. ¼ cup sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, ½ cup water, 1 teaspoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
I used butter instead of coconut oil, and added it into the food processor.
Add the vanilla and coffee, which is optional to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Process all of these ingredients together until it is smooth.
Now you are going to add the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Process it once more until smooth.
Fold in ⅓ cup of chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips evenly among the tops of each muffin batter.
Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the muffins come out clean.
Place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
These muffins were really good, and because of the coffee that I added it was a very intense chocolate flavor.
When I make these muffins again, I am going to add in a little bit more sugar. I think the reason they were kind of bitter was because of the fact that I used butter instead of coconut oil. When coconut oil has a little bit of natural sweetness in it, and butter does not. So, when I make this recipe again I am going to put some sugar on top and I think it will balance out.
I am so glad that I have dived right into the black bean recipes. If you want to make this recipe feel free to check it out in the description down below. Vadish, Dag Dag.
