Vegan Babies aka Banana-Chocolate Brownie Bites

My continued search for vegan brownies for my vegan girl took a turn for the better this week when I hit on these delish brownies. This recipe is a mish-mash of several things I've tried or seen online.

Pulverize in a food processor or blender, until very, very smooth:
1 15-oz. can of black beans, rinsed and drained
3 Tbs. vegetable oil
1 Tbs. ground flax seed whisked with 2 T. water
4 Tbs. cocoa
1 ripe banana
1/2 c. sugar (I used Turbinado)
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. instant coffee granules (optional but adds nice flavor)

Scrape into a bowl and fold in:
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Add:
3/4 cup chocolate chips (mini preferred)

Scoop into mini muffin tins that are well greased.
Bake for 23 minutes at 350 degrees.
Cool for 10 minutes before turning out to cool completely.

Makes 24 minis.

Grandma Pizza from ATK

I am completely, 100% addicted to the America's Test Kitchen Radio podcast and have tried several of the recipes in the last year as I've worked my way from the debut episode through the most recent season.

The "grandma pizza" recipe (and pan pizza concept in general) is practically life-chaging for a pizza stone devotee. The pickiest children may prefer that you puree the tomatoes a bit more, or put the cheese on top, instead of under, the cheese. I used Pomi crushed tomatoes. Here's the recipe. I promise to add a photo next time I make it.
