Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F (180C). Grease four 5oz ramekins with coconut oil. Make sure to grease well.

Make flax egg and set aside.

In food processor combine black beans, maple syrup (or coconut nectar), applesauce, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cayenne, and half of sea salt. Pulse to combine (about 1 minute).

Add in almond meal, cocoa powder and flax egg. Process until combined (about 30 seconds).

Add in baking powder and continue processing for another 30 seconds.

Add a 1/4 cup (60 ml)  of batter to each ramekin.

Place a piece of chocolate on top of batter and cover each ramekin evenly with remaining batter.

Place ramekins a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

Use a knife to loosen edges and then flip ramekins over on a plate. They should come loose easily.
Serve warm. Makes 4 servings. Will keep in fridge for several days.
