�Scoop bean mixture into a muffin tin that has been lightly greased or sprayed with cooking spray.
�Bake for 15-17 minutes, until edges are starting to brown. Top each muffin with a spoonful of marinara and a few sliced olives.
�Return to oven for another 10-12 minutes, until muffins are firm and set.
�Allow muffins to cool for several minutes, as they will firm up even more, before serving.

    This recipe is great! I keep it in rotation. I like to serve it with mashed potatoes and green beans. - 5/30/13
