Black Bean Cake (Naturally Sweetened)

This Black Bean Cake is right up my ally!

I always like to describe my snacks & desserts as being healthy enough to eat for breakfast while still satisfying your sweet tooth. I think this fits that description perfectly!

If you’re looking for something even more dessert like check out my ‘Black-Bean Chocolate Lava Cake’ recipe. It is very similar to this recipe but adds in some pure maple syrup for additional sweetness.

Ingredients

• 1 box organic black beans (drained & rinsed)
• 1/2 c rolled or old-fashioned oats (gluten-free if needed)
• 1 ripe banana
• 2 scoops plant-based peanut butter or chocolate protein powder (I use Drink Orgain)
• 1/3 c unsweetened plant-based milk
• 1 T cocoa powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• pinch of himalyan salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• Small Handful Vegan Chocolate Chips (I use Enjoy Life Foods, Mega Chunk chips)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350F. Spray 3 small tart tins with coconut oil spray and set aside.
2. Add the black beans to a food processor & process until combined.
3. Next add in the oats, scrape the sides of the bowl, & process.
4. 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.
5. Fold in your chocolate chips.
6. Pour your dough into small tart tins. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Have any extra batter? Enjoy it raw! This batter is healthy & delicious to eat raw.
