Ingredients

1 can black beans 15 ounces
½ cup cocoa powder
¼ cup vegan chocolate protein powder
½ cup coconut sugar or monk fruit sugar
2 tbsp flax meal (ground flax seeds)
4 tbsp water
4 tbsp coconut oil melted
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp vanilla extract organic
¼ cup chocolate chips sugar-free, dairy-free (Optional)
¼ cup walnuts, organic (Optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Grease only 9 holes in a 12 hole muffin tin.
In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of flaxmeal with 4 tablespoons of water. This is the vegan egg replacement. Let sit for a few minutes.
Blend the coconut sugar or monk fruit sugar in a blender until it forms a powder.
Drain and rinse your black beans. Pour them into the blender with the sugar.
Now add in the cocoa powder, baking powder, protein powder, vanilla extract, and coconut oil.
Turn on the blender and blend on low until the mixture forms a smooth batter.
[OPTIONAL] Pour the batter into a bowl and fold in your chocolate chips and walnuts.
Pour the batter equally into the greased muffin tin.
Place the tin into the oven and bake for 25-28 minutes (they will be a bit fudgy in the middle).
Remove the tin from the oven and place onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Top as desired.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
