How to make Gluten-Free Vegan Black Bean Brownies?

  1. Use few drops of oil to grease a standard 12-slot muffin pan. 
  2. Keep the oven pre-heated to about 176-degrees C or 350-degrees F.
  3. Use the food processor to make the flax eggs. Make a mixture of flax and water and pulse numerous times before allowing the mixture to rest.
  4. After a few minutes, add all the other ingredients to the pulsed mixture except the toppings.
  5. To make the mixture smooth, scrape the sides of the food processor well.
  6. Now is the time to shift the batter to the muffin tin. Once the tins are filled, use a spoon to even out the top part. 
  7. You need to add the toppings now. Simply sprinkle the toppings on the top of the batter.
  8. Put the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes. The upper portion of the brownies should start to get dry.
  9. After taking out from the oven, you need to let the brownies cool for half an hour.
  10. The brownies can be refrigerated to run for a month or stored in an airtight container outside to finish within 3 to 4 days.

Tips

  • Ensure that the black beans are rinsed and drained before starting.
  • Grease the muffin pan lightly.
  • If you feel that the batter has a thick consistency,  you can add water and pulse once more to get the right consistency.  Remember, the mixture should not be runny.
  • When hot, the brownies are tender. Use a fork to remove the freshly-cooked brownies from the tin
