- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
DIRECTIONS
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin tin.

Place avocado in food processor and process until completely smooth. Then add black beans, melted coconut oil, and almond butter to food processor and blend until smooth.
3
Add eggs, maple syrup and vanilla extract back to bowl with black beans. Process until combined. Add baking soda, salt and cocoa powder and process until just combined.

Allow brownies to cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes. Gently run a thin, sharp knife around the edge of each brownie bite to loosen, then carefully lift each brownie bite of the cup.
