Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups black beans rinsed and drained
  • ¾ cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup of unsweetened coconut divided
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tray with parchment or silicone muffin papers.
  • In the base of a 7-cup food processor fitted with a steel blade (or a high powered blender), combine the black beans, sugar, vanilla, ½ cup of coconut, eggs, espresso powder, cocoa powder and coconut oil.
  • Blend until creamy and smooth (as pictured above).
  • Transfer to a large glass measuring cup (the spout makes it easier to pour into the muffin papers).
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour or spoon the batter, dividing it amongst 12 muffins.
  • Sprinkle the tops with the remaining coconut.
  • Bake for 23-25 minutes, until muffins are cooked through.
  • Allow to cool before removing the muffin papers.
