Black Bean Cupcakes (grain-free, dairy-free)


1 15 oz can of black beans, rinsed and drained
4 eggs
5 Tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 c. xylitol (I used XyloSweet) or Stevia - I think maple syrup would work too
7 heaps Tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 pinch salt

1. Process rinsed and drained beans using a food processor, stick blender, or regular blender until smooth.
2. Add eggs, vanilla, coconut oil and process.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and process.
4. Spray cupcake liners.  Fill halfway. 
5. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. 

Makes 15 cupcakes. (This recipe always makes me one dozen regular-sized cupcakes, plus one dozen mini-sized cupcakes.)
