Ingredients

For the Brownie Batter

1/2 cup Regular Cocoa Powder Adds rich chocolate flavor; try Dutch cocoa for an even deeper taste.
1/4 cup Dutch Cocoa Powder Enhances cocoa flavor and creates a smoother texture; can be swapped for more regular cocoa.
1 cup Rolled Oats Provides structure and fiber; substitute with almond flour for a keto-friendly option.
1 can Black Beans Acts as a moisture-rich protein source without flour; consider using white or kidney beans if desired.
1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness and enhances overall flavor.
1/2 cup Pure Maple Syrup Serves as a natural sweetener; honey or agave syrup can be used as alternatives.
1/4 cup Oil or Almond/Peanut Butter Adds moisture and richness; choose based on your taste preference.
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract Infuses delightful aromatic flavor into the batter.
1 teaspoon Baking Powder Provides a slight lift to the brownie bites for a fluffier texture.
1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips Provides indulgent bursts of chocolate; optional, but highly recommended for enhancing flavor.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan.
In a high-quality food processor, combine rolled oats, black beans, cocoa powders, salt, pure maple syrup, oil or nut butter, pure vanilla extract, and baking powder. Blend until smooth for about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the brownie batter into each muffin cup, filling them about ¾ full. Press a few more mini chocolate chips on top if desired.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes until the edges look set but centers still appear slightly soft.
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
