One batter, Chocolate Strawberry Protein Cake AND Parfait

Directions
- Add the black beans to a food processor & process until combined.
- Next add in the oats, scrape the sides of the bowl, & process.
- Continue to add a few ingredients at a time (occasionally scraping the sides of the bowl & processing) to ensure that everything gets broken down & combined well, until no ingredients are left.
- Pour your dough into small tart tins & bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.Let cool & then top with coconut cream & berries, nut butter, Â or coconut yogurt mixed with maqui berry powder. Enjoy!
