Chocolate Baking Instructions

To use applesauce instead of banana, you need 1.5 cups for muffins, breads, and brownies, and .5 cup for cookies. Applesauce isn't quite as sweet as banana, so I recommend to add 1/4 cup of unrefined sweetener like date syrup, maple syrup, or honey. Full instructions are below.

  • Black Bean Muffins

    Muffins/breads

    To make the whole bag, you'll need:

    • 3 medium bananas (mashed) OR 1.5 cup of applesauce
    • 2 eggs (flax or chia works great)
    • 1/2 cup milk milk of your choice
    • Optional 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey - especially if you use applesauce because applesauce is not as sweet at banana.
    • Desired mix-ins

    To make half of the bag:

    • 1 cup of the mix
    • 1.5 bananas or 3/4 cup applesauce
    • 1/4 cup milk of your choice
    • Optional 2 Tb syrup
    • Desired mix-ins

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 350° F
    2. In a bowl, combine all ingredients.
    3. Bake for 20-25 min, or until a knife comes out clean, 40-50 min for bread.

    *Important: This mix contains raw beans. Do not eat the dough, seriously it doesn't taste good!! It won't hurt you, but the flavor develops when you cook it. Please ensure your Beanie Bites creations are thoroughly cooked before consuming.
