Servings: persons

1 can (14 Oz. Size) Great Northern Beans (drained And Rinsed)
4 ounces, fluid Unsweetened Applesauce
2/3 cups Packed Brown Sugar
2/3 cups Smooth Peanut Butter
1 whole Egg
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
3 Tablespoons White Whole Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 pinch Salt
1/3 cups Semi-sweet Mini Chocolate Chips
1 Tablespoon Semi-sweet Mini Chocolate Chips

1
Preheat oven to 350 F.
2
1. In a large food processor (I think a blender would work as well) puree the drained and rinsed beans until smooth.
3
2. Add the applesauce, sugar, peanut butter, egg and vanilla and blend well.
4
3. Add the flour, baking soda and salt and once again blend until smooth.
5
4. Stir in the first amount of mini chocolate chips.
6
5. Line your mini muffin pans with paper liners and evenly divide the batter. I got 39 mini cupcakes. If you don't use liners, grease pans well or your cupcakes might stick and tear apart when you remove them.
7
6. Sprinkle the tops of the cupcakes with the reserved mini chocolate chips.
8
7. Bake for 13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of one comes out clean. Remove from oven.
9
8. Allow to cool before removing from pan. Share and enjoy...or don't share and just enjoy. Your call!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
