White Chocolate Chip Chocolate Black Bean Muffins - March Muffin Madness

I am honored to be participating in March Muffin Madness. This is the gluten-free muffin event version of the other March Madness. MMM is hosted by Shirley at Gluten Free Easily and will run through Tuesday April 5th. There will be 22 bloggers participating in MMM, which means 22 great gluten-free muffin recipes! If you love muffins as much as I do, then you should get excited! There will also be daily giveaway prizes and an overall giveaway throughout the event with prizes, including a very special grand prize awarded at the end, which makes this even more exciting.

For my muffin recipe, I decided to go with these White Chocolate Chip Chocolate Black Bean Muffins.

I love using beans in desserts. They are an easy way to turn a recipe into a gluten free recipe, and they are also good for you. These are the perfect treat for breakfast, for snacking during the day, or for whenever you want a good chocolate and white chocolate fix!

And the really great thing about these muffins is that they are super easy to make, as well. Just let the food processor do the work for you, and you will have them in the oven in no time at all.

These muffins are moist, flavorful, healthy and simple to make. Why not give them a try today?

I put white chocolate chips in them, but I thought that they could use a little extra white chocolate, so I decided to drizzle some on top, as well.

Here is the recipe. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

3. Line a 12 cup muffin tin and spray wrappers with cooking spray.
