Magic Black Bean Muffins

This photo is terrible. I am so sorry about that. Its really a bad thing to represent these things so poorly, because, in all honesty, after you make them, you will want to kiss me.
I wrote the recipe on the back of a school letter, which was copied from my friend (Jessica). Her version was on the back of a grocery receipt, because she copied it from her friend (Melanie), whom I contacted, and who, apparently got it from a friend. You see where this is going.
Its like a spell, that is so treasured and so valuable it is only passed down in secret. Or orally, or on the back of semi-important pieces of paper.
Its also like a magic spell because after you make it, you cant stop thinking “Man? there’s NO flour in these?” or “”But how are they so fluffy?” Magic is really the only logical conclusion.
If you don’t eat flour or gluten they will be a godsend. We all eat flour, but my kids have a certain chocolate thing. They ate almost two dozen of these, themselves, last week. These are good because they increase the legume intake by, like, 100%, without the kids knowing. I need to make more.
So. Thank you Jessica, Thank you Melanie.
Now, you can all thank me.

Hi — I just found your blog (looking for Calgary artists on google, found your “introducing” section — GREAT idea! Can I help? Artist with kid, hoping someday for backyard chickens, that’s me). I’m going to try this recipe ’cause my kid needs legumes and loves chocolate….never thought of mixing them like this.
Also I tried to subscribe…is there a way
