To prepare chia eggs, simply grind chia seeds in a coffee grinder. Mix 2 tablespoons of grounded chia seeds with 5 tablespoons of water. Stir and let it rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
-
Put black beans and applesauce in the blender and blend shortly until you get a puree. Set aside.

-
Mix with a stand or hand mixer for a couple of minutes until it all comes together.
If the batter is too thick add 1-2 more tablespoons of almond milk.
-
Spread the batter into prepared silicone molds or muffin tins and bake for approx. 20-25 minutes.

Remove them from the oven and let them cool down completely before taking them out. Brownies will continue to firm up while cooling.
