Description

These Mini Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Cakes are a rich, indulgent treat made without flour, making them gluten-free and low-calorie. Infused with peanut butter and chocolate, these mini cakes are packed with protein and fiber, thanks to black beans.

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (about 4 large) egg whites or fat-free liquid egg substitute
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ⅓ cup canned pure pumpkin
  • ¼ cup Truvia spoonable calorie-free sweetener (or another no-calorie granulated sweetener)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter baking chips, chopped
  • Optional: melted chocolate sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray 8 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
  • Make the Batter: Place all ingredients except the peanut butter chips in a food processor. Puree until completely smooth and uniform.
  • Fold in Peanut Butter Chips: Fold in 1 tablespoon of the chopped peanut butter chips.
  • Prepare Muffin Cups: Evenly distribute the batter into the 8 prepared muffin cups, smoothing out the tops. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped peanut butter chips on top, pressing lightly into the batter.
  • Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
  • Cool: Let the cakes cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Serve: Drizzle with melted chocolate sauce for an extra decadent touch before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.

Notes

  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
  • Sweetener Alternatives: If you don’t have Truvia, you can use other no-calorie sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit.
  • Add-Ins: Try folding in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
