Normally, brownies would be out of the question. But with the secret ingredient (black beans), this guilty pleasure becomes accessible once more.
Preheat your oven to 350° F.
Lightly grease a mini muffin tin and set aside.
Blend black beans, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, oil, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and baking powder.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry. Fold in the chocolate chips without over-mixing.
Scoop 1 tablespoon portions of batter in each tin slot. Then with slightly moistened fingertips, press the tops to flatten.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, cool, and serve.
Remember to enjoy just one portion!
