    How to Prepare Black Bean Brownies [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

    1. In a food processor, combine flax meal and water and pulse a few times to make the flax egg. Let sit for 10 minutes.
    2. Preheat oven to 350°F degrees.
    3. Add all remaining ingredients and 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (set aside remaining 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips + extra for topping) into the food processor. Pulse for 5 minutes.
    4. If the consistency is too thick (if it doesn’t fall off a spoon when lifted) add water 1 tsp. at a time and pulse again to combine. (the batter should not be runny,  but should be spreadable) Transfer brownie mixture to a separate bowl and fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
    5. Immediately spoon into a GREASED muffin tin or parchment lined 8x8 pan 2/3 of the way full and bake in a preheated 350°F degree oven for 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the pan. Cool for 30 minutes before removing from the pan. The brownies will seem under baked when warm, but will firm up once cooled.
