Black Bean Blender Bites (with Salted Caramel Chips)
These Black Bean Blender Brownie Bites with Salted Caramel Chips are the perfect cure for that 3 pm sugar craving. Move over M&Ms, there is a new chocolate fix in the house - and this one has protein and is flour less.
Ingredients
- 540mL can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 egg whole
- 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup salted caramel chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F
- Add all ingredients except the salted caramel chips into a high powered blender. I tested this recipe in my Vitamix. Blend until smooth. About 1 minute. This likely will not work well in a regular blender. If you don't have a high powered blender such as a Vitamix or Blendtech, I would opt to use a food processor instead.
- Scoop the batter into your oiled silicone mold tray. You can also use a parchment lined 8X8 pan, but I have not tested it in that pan.
- Add a few salted caramel chips to the top of each brownie bite.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes. Cook time will need to be adjusted if you mold is not 2 tablespoon capacity per well. Your brownie bites are done when you can insert a toothpick into the center and it comes out clean.
- Allow the brownie bites to cool completely before removing from the mold. They are likely to fall apart easily when warm.
- Store at room temperature in a air tight container for 3-4 days.
