hi all! Don’t forget that I want to hear your #beTRUEtoYOU story
& you can be entered to win an Under Armour Hoodie!
I’m super excited because I’ve already received e-mails, tweets, & posts
sharing your stories & I LOVE THEM! You all rock; fact.
A week or so ago on Instagram I shared a little teaser pic with new recipes!
So far I’ve shared number 2 –Socca Eggplant Lasagna
&
number 3 – Mexican Style Stuffed Acorn Squash
I know that number 5 was one of the favorites selected
so I didn’t want to keep you in anymore suspense!
Ingredients:
1 can of black beans (drained & rinsed)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup milk of choice
1 banana
1.5 scoops of protein powder
(I used VEGA vegan vanilla)
1/4 cup of Cocoa Powder
I used Hersey’s Dark Cocoa Powder to make it more rich!
2 tsp baking powder
splash of vanilla extract
3 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup of raisins
1 scoop of spirulina (optional)
1 TB of café ceps organic instant coffee
(any instant coffee will work – brings out the chocolate flavor!)
Directions:
-
Blend pumpkin, banana, 1/4 cup of the almond milk, & beans in a food processor until smooth.
-
Pour into a bowl & add in all other ingredients (plus remaining 1/4 cup milk)!
-
Pour into an 8 x 8 baking dish
-
Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds (optional)
-
Bake at 350 for about 1 hour.
*This will not be a fluffy “cake” texture – it’s more dense & fudge like!
It also goes really well with a nice glass of red wine,
if you’re old enough to drink!
The boyfriend & I had a nice date night with this pairing.
And no, we didn’t go through 2 bottles of wine –
he wanted to try this blueberry wine I had & I wanted my organic red wine!
Just a small glass, slippers, leggins, boyfriend, & chocolate.
#perfectnight
I hope you’ll try it out & enjoy!
Wine or no wine, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

SOOOO excited to try this! I had another black bean cupcake recipe I wanted to try, but wanted to find a recipe without eggs and this one is perfect!! Thanks for posting it!!
This recipe looks so delicious ! I wanna make it this week-end, but I wondering what I can use instead of pumpkin puree ?
DELISH as usual!
These look so yummy!! I am so going to make them SOON
I just posted a recipe today that used beans (garbanzo) in a treat-type recipe! I’ve never used black beans though–my post even ended by saying I am going to try that next. Now I have a recipe to follow. Thanks!
This definitely calls for red wine! I look forward to making this very soon. Maybe I’ll even test it out with a few close girlfriends for a ladies’ night!
I tried this recipe the color looked nothing like yours and I baked it for half the time and it came out super dry.
Lukus, thank you for the comment! I am very sorry it didn’t turn out for you…a few others have made this recipe and they all had success so I’m wondering what maybe happened! Do you think you needed to add more liquid? Mine was the opposite of dry so I’m curious, maybe it needed more liquid! Again, I apologize!
Hmm, that is odd, I will try again and maybe add more milk and hopefully that does the trick.
