White Chocolate Chip Chocolate Black Bean Muffins from Auntie Bethany

Our muffin recipe today is White Chocolate Chip Chocolate Black Bean Muffins from Auntie Bethany: The Best Gluten-Free Recipes.

I love everything about these muffins, especially the fact that Bethany says that you let your food processor do the work for you! She describes these muffins as “moist, flavorful, healthy and simple to make.”

Bethany has several other muffin recipes that you will be sure to enjoy as well:

~ Applesauce Chocolate Chip Muffins,

~  The Best Gluten-Free Banana Muffins,

~ Chocolate Banana Muffins, and

~ Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins.

Another recipe of Bethany’s that you’ll want to check out is her Texas Sheet Cake (which is also egg free), after dinner, of course. Perhaps a dinner that includes her Homemade Gluten-Free Creamy Mac and Cheese and The Easiest Gluten-Free Breadsticks. I’m all about sharing terrific gluten-free breadstick recipes —and other bread recipes for that matter —and Bethany’s breadsticks really are easy and yummy!

Don’t forget to scroll down to check out today’s daily prize and make sure you’re entered in the drawing for the overall/grand prize giveaway before you head over to get Bethany’s delicious White Chocolate Chip Chocolate Black Bean Muffins recipe.

Today’s Daily Giveaway

~ Learning to Bake Allergen-Free: A Crash Course for Busy Parents on Baking without Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Soy or Nuts (signed and personalized copy, 1 winner)

This cookbook is Colette Martin’s first cookbook and she’s graciously offering one copy for MMM. You might know Colette from her blog Learning to Eat Allergy Free. As the title indicates, this cookbook is aimed at those who deal with multiple allergies. Colette’s son has multiple food allergies and eosinophilic esophagitis (EE). This cookbook, “a crash course” as it’s subtitled, is the one she wished she had had when her son was first diagnosed. Readers have given this book high marks for its detailed guidance and tips on baking successfully without these allergens. This coverage actually makes up the first third of the book. The remainder of her cookbook is devoted to recipes like English Muffins, Coffee Cake with Streusel Topping, and Chocolate Croissants—recipes which make folks with multiple food intolerances/allergies very happy! In the spirit of the muffin side of MMM, Colette also shared this photo of  her beautiful Blueberry Muffins, another recipe in this cookbook. (Note: I’ll be sharing Colette’s second cookbook, The Allergy-Free Pantry: Make Your Own Staples, Snacks, and More Without Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Soy or Nuts, later in MMM.)

~ Spectrum Essential Organic Ground Flaxseed (2 winners)

A go-to egg substitute is a flax gel egg, also called a flax slurry (which is simply a mix of 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed and 3 tablespoons of warm water, stirred, and then allowed to “gel” before adding to recipe). I just used flax gel eggs last week to make Pumpkin Butter Pecan Chocolate Chip Bars. They worked well! Flax gel eggs usually do work really well in recipes that call for one or two eggs, not all recipes but most. Some egg substitutes work better in different types of recipes. (Colette addresses that fact in her cookbook.)  You can buy whole flaxseed and grind it to create your own ground flaxseed, “flaxmeal,” if you like, but I do prefer the convenience of having ground flaxseed on hand. I store mine in the refrigerator, as recommended.
