Do not be alarmed by the red kidney beans - you have to take the plunge and try these cupcakes!
These cupcakes are sweetened with coconut nectar by Tiana which is available in most health food stores including Holland and Barrett. We love the taste of this raw, organic sweetener – it’s like caramel! This recipe is gluten, dairy and nut-free.
For the cupcakes:
Weigh your beans, eggs, vanilla extract, coconut nectar, oil and dye and blend with a stick blender. Blend well – you don’t want anyone finding a whole bean in there!
Moving on. Combine your flour, cocoa and baking powder with a whisk and whisk together with your wet ingredients above.
Bake in your favourite cupcake cases for 25 minutes on 175°c.
Let these bad boys cool then top with your ice cream, et voila – didn’t think these would taste so good, eh?
P.S. Top tip: Insert a piece of dry spaghetti into the centre of your cupcakes. When it comes out clean, they’re done!
