Mini chocolate cakes

I never thought I'd see the day I would be baking a dessert with black beans!!  Seriously, this one is a keeper!!  



Ingredients:

1 can black beans (rinsed)
2 eggs
2 egg whites
1/3 cup puréed pumpkin (I used from a can)
3 tbls Cracked Nut butter cinnamon roll (you can use almond butter or what ever nut butter you have on hand)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbls stevia
1 tbls honey
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Here is the nut butter I used.  It's so yummy!!


Instructions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350
2.  Spray muffin tin
3.  In food processor, add all ingredients except chocolate chips
4.  Spoon batter into muffin tins
5.  I add chocolate chips in by hand so I can count exactly 5 chips per muffin. (Easier to count calories exactly and not over indulge). 😊
6.  Bake for 20 minutes
7.  Let cool

Here is what they look like:

Frosting ingredients:

1 cup puréed pumpkin
2 scoops chocolate protein powder
1/4 cocoa powder
1 tbls honey
4 tbls of Cracked nut butter
1 tsp stevia
1 tsp vanilla extract

I used my mixer to blend until creamy.  Once they are cooled, ice your single serve cakes and serve!!
