How to make the best Chocolate WW Muffins
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with baking liners (optional: lightly coat the inside of each liner with nonstick cooking spray. Skip to avoid extra calories).
- In a food processor, combine the black beans and one egg. Process until the beans are smoothly blended.
- Add the remaining two eggs, mashed bananas, avocado oil, vanilla extract, and coffee to the food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth.
- Now, add the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the mixture in the food processor. Process again until everything is well combined and smooth. Fold in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips.
- Evenly distribute the batter among the muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each muffin batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then carefully remove them from the tin and transfer to the wire rack to cool completely.
- Store the muffins at room temperature for up to a day, then transfer them to the refrigerator in an airtight container for longer storage. Enjoy your delicious and healthy chocolate muffins!
