Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz) can great northern beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
Optional Mix-ins
- Chocolate chips
- Craisin dried cranberries
- Shredded coconut
Instructions
- Blend Base Mixture: Combine the drained and rinsed great northern beans, eggs, and maple syrup in a food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring the beans are fully pureed.
- Add Dry and Flavor Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, peanut butter, baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor. Blend again until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a thick batter.
- Incorporate Optional Mix-ins: Add chocolate chips, craisins, shredded coconut, or any other desired mix-ins. Pulse the processor a few times to gently combine without overblending.
- Prepare to Bake: Grease or line muffin tins or a 9×9 baking pan. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared tin. Add extra toppings on top if desired, like additional chocolate chips or shredded coconut.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the muffins for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to drain and rinse the beans well to avoid any canned taste.
- Feel free to swap peanut butter with almond butter or any nut butter of choice.
- These muffins can also be baked in a 9×9 pan for bars; adjust baking time slightly if needed.
- Optional mix-ins add flavor and texture but can be omitted for a plain muffin.
- Allow muffins to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
