Flourless Black Bean & Chia Seed Brownie Bites

Serves: Makes 24 brownie bites

Ingredients

1. 1 tablespoon chia seeds

2. 1 15oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed well

3. 1 egg

4. 3 tablespoons water

5. ¼ cup pure maple syrup

6. ½ cup cocoa powder

7. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8. ¼ teaspoon salt

9. 1 teaspoon baking powder

10. ¼ cup coconut oil

11. ½ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a mini-muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray - I use a coconut oil one.

2. Process chia seeds in a coffee or spice grinder until they form a powdery consistency (this step is not necessary, I just feel it improves the texture).

3. Add chia powder to the bowl of a food processor along with black beans, egg, water, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. Process until a smooth batter forms.

4. Stir in the chocolate chips. Spoon batter into prepared mini-muffin pan. Place in the oven on top or middle rack for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely in pan before serving.
