Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Make flax egg & set aside.
In a food processor, combine black beans, sugar, applesauce, apple cider vinegar & sea salt. Pulse to combine for about 1 minute.
Add rice flour, cocoa powder & flax egg. Process until combined about 30 seconds.
Add baking powder & continue processing for another 30 seconds.
Grease (4) 5-oz. ramekins with oil. Make sure to grease well. Add 1/4 cup batter to each ramekin.
Place a piece of chocolate in center of each & divide remaining batter between the 4 ramekins, spreading evenly.
Place on a baking sheet & bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven & cool for 10 minutes.
Use a knife to loosen edges, then flip ramekins over on to serving plates (they should come loose easily).
If you wish, sprinkle with powdered sugar & serve warm.
