I have been trying to get more beans into my families diet because they are so good for you. We even like beans, but sometimes you feel like something different. I found a recipe online that was called Pork-n-Beans Cake. I thought it would be fun to try something like that, and this is what I came up with. My entire family loves these. You can't taste the beans. Really . They would easily make a nice cupcake with cream cheese frosting. Try them and ask people what the weird ingredient is, (they never know:) This makes a big batch. Feel free to add cranberries, raisins, or pecans...they taste great in these. Ingredients:
3 cups sugar |
1/3 cup molasses (i use agave sweetener) |
1/2 cup canola oil |
1/4 cup applesauce (sugar free) |
2 mashed bananas |
3 eggs |
3 egg whites |
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour |
1/2 cup multi-grain baking mix (i used insta -bake from hodgson mill) |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal |
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon clove |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon ginger |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
30 ounces pinto beans (drained and washed) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. 2. Grease muffin tins, or use paper cups. 3. Grind up beans in a food processor until pretty smooth. 4. In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients, until smooth. 5. Fill muffin tins a little over 1/2 full, and bake for 15-20 minute. |
