These muffins made with no flour and with plant-based ingredients for an allergy-friendly, kid-friendly recipe. They are loaded with nutrients from the black beans and rolled oats, and healthy fats from peanut butter and coconut oil.
Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need to make these delicious fudgy chocolate muffins are:
Canned Black Beans – Rinse and drain the black beans before using. Black beans are healthy plant-based protein to make fudgy egg-free chocolate muffins or brownies for kids. Rolled Oats – You can use old-fashioned oats or instant oats – they blend faster. For gluten-free kids, you can find gluten-free certified oats or replace them with millet flakes, but you may have to use more of it to achieve the same texture. Cocoa Powder – Prefer unsweetened to make it easier to balance the sweetness. Natural Peanut Butter – It’s essential to use peanut butter with no sugar added. If your toddler is allergic to nuts, you can use sunflower seed butter. It’s a great alternative full of protein and nutrients. Melted Coconut Oil – Use unrefined coconut oil or any oil you like including canola oil or avocado oil. Vanilla Extract – for flavor. Soy Milk – I recommend using soy milk calcium-fortified, but any milk works in this recipe. Maple Syrup – Use maple syrup or any unrefined liquid sweetener you love such as coconut nectar or rice malt syrup. Baking Powder or half the amount if you want to use baking soda.
