Gluten Free Chocolate Caramel Black Bean Muffins

Gooey caramel bits fill these chocolate muffins and give them a delicious chocolate and caramel flavor. These muffins are made healthy by using black beans in place of flour, and the beans give them a great, moist texture. If you love the flavor combination of caramel and chocolate, then you will love every bite!

These muffins are easy to put together, and you are going to have them made and ready to eat in no time! And since they are so healthy, they are perfect for breakfast or any time of the day.
