Flourless Black Bean Brownie Bites

Ya’ll, I made you some brownies. Out of black beans. And they’re GOOD.

Black bean brownies have kind of become a thing, so it’s not quite as weird as it used to be because people are finding out that they are actually really good. But if you’ve never seen this crazy recipe before, don’t give me the stink eye before you try them.

The black beans are used in place of any kind of flour for this recipe, and somehow it totally works. They come out soft, sweet, moist, super chocolate-y, and insanely delicious. They are honestly some of the best brownies I’ve ever had. And it doesn’t hurt that they are loaded with some great nutrients like fiber and antioxidants. Secretly healthy desserts that only FEEL indulgent are my jam.

They are simple and come together pretty quickly because they only require a food processor (or blender). Just throw all of the ingredients into the processor, whirl until it becomes a nice chocolate-y batter, and spoon them into the mini muffin tin. You could always make them in a bigger pan and cut them into squares, but I think mini muffins are just the cutest. I couldn’t resist. I sprinkled some chopped peanuts on top just for fun, but you could use pecans, walnuts, or even something different like coconut. Oh, I’m totally doing that next time!

I feel like this is the only proper way to start out our week. So dunk these little guys in some almond milk and enjoy this Monday!
