Amazing Brownie Bites

Ok, before you say ewww, this recipe is made with pureed black beans and I promise, no one will be the wiser.  These are also gluten free.  This recipe is by far one of the best brownie recipes ever!!

Ingredients:
1 C. cooked and drained black beans (if using canned, rinse very well)
2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
5 Tbsp. water
2 Tbsp. coconut oil (melted)
1/2 C. cocoa powder
dash of salt (optional)
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 coconut sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder (no need to level the measurement)
1-2 Tbsp. non-dairy milk (warmed slightly, room temp is fine)
1/2 C. semisweet non-dairy chocolate chips

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.  Lightly grease mini muffin pan.  Mix flaxseed and water in a small bowl (mix well), set aside.  In food processor, puree black beans until very smooth.  Add coconut oil, cocoa powder, salt if using, vanilla sugar, baking powder and milk and puree until smooth.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Using ice cream or cookie scooper, fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.  Bake 12-15 minutes (tops will start to look dry and pull away from pan).  Allow to cool completely.  Makes 24 bite size brownies.
