Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with cooking spray.

2. Blend wet ingredients

In a food processor or blender, combine the black beans, eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth.

Add the cocoa powder, coconut sugar, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend again until well incorporated and creamy.

Fold in chocolate chips and optional nuts with a spatula.

5. Spoon batter

Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

6. Bake

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.

7. Cool

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für intensiveren Schokoladengeschmack kannst du eine Prise Espresso-Pulver hinzufügen. Verwende für eine vegane Variante statt Ahornsirup Agavendicksaft und ersetze die Eier durch Leinsamen-Eier. Achte darauf, alle Zutaten glutenfrei zu wählen und die Mini-Muffin-Form gut vorzubereiten, damit die Brownie Bites sich leicht lösen lassen.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Optional kannst du gehackte Walnüsse oder Pekannüsse hinzufügen, um noch mehr Textur und Geschmack zu erhalten. Für einen frischeren Geschmack passen auch ein Hauch von Zimt oder Chili. Wer es süßer mag, kann etwas mehr Kokoszucker verwenden oder zusätzliche Schokostückchen einarbeiten.

Serviervorschläge

Serviere die Brownie Bites als Snack zu einem Glas Milch oder pflanzlichem Drink. Sie passen hervorragend zu einer Tasse Kaffee oder Tee und sind auch ideal zum Mitnehmen für unterwegs. Für eine besondere Präsentation kannst du sie mit Puderzucker bestäuben oder mit einem Klecks Joghurt und frischen Beeren garnieren.
