Ingredients

Brownie base

1 395 mL can black beans rinsed and drained
1 egg * see below for substitutions
¼ cup +1 tbsp melted chocolate
3 tablespoon coconut oil melted *see sub below
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tablespoon cocoa powder
½ cup oat flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup +1 tbsp brown sugar

Toppings

¼ cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoon peanut butter heated in microwave for 15 seconds
2 tablespoon chocolate chips melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a food processor or high-powered blender add all base ingredients and blend until smooth. Note if you are using a blender you may need to stop and stir periodically as the batter is thick! If you are having trouble blending try adding 1 teaspoon of water at a time to help thin slightly.
Once brownie batter is smooth, grease or line a 12-cavity muffin tin (NOT a mini muffin tin) to ensure batter does not stick! Add about 3tbsp of batter into each cavity.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean.
Allow to cool and drizzle with softened peanut butter, melted chocolate and sprinkle with chopped pecans.

Notes

*To make these brownie bites vegan feel free to substitute the egg with 1 flax egg or egg substitute of choice (see full text above for flax egg instructions)

*Coconut oil can be substituted with melted butter

Storage: These brownie bites store best in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
