Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a mini muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for baking.
Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, add the black beans, cocoa powder, rolled oats, salt, maple syrup, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and baking powder. This mix will create the brownie batter base.
Blend Batter: Blend the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure even blending.
Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips by hand into the smooth batter, distributing them evenly.
Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin compartments, filling each liner.
Bake: Bake the brownie bites in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are set but still fudgy inside.
Cool: Allow the bites to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they firm up to perfect bite-sized consistency.

Notes

For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
Make sure to rinse the black beans thoroughly to avoid any bean taste in the brownies.
Use a food processor for the smoothest batter texture.
Check bake time as ovens vary; do not overbake to maintain fudginess.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
