Red bean and banana chocolate cake

This is my fave go to protein treat. Takes 5 minutes to prep and about 20-25 min in the oven.

Red Bean Chocolate Cake Ingredients

 • A can of red beans (240g drained) – very important: rinse it with warm, running water in a strainer, neatly and thoroughly (approx. 30-40 seconds), skipping this step is the most common cause of a failed cake! 

• 1 large, ripe banana 

• 2 eggs 

• 1.5 tablespoons of coconut oil 

• 1.5 tablespoons of cocoa

 • 2 tablespoons of honey

 • A teaspoon of baking powder

Preparation:

Mix everything in NutriBullet, pour it on a small pan, mine is tiny 9×9 inch. The cake will be max 0.4inch tall. Before you pour it on the pan, make sure to rub it with a coconut oil so it won’t stick. 

350FA temperature, in my case 20-25 minutes but check with a fork if it’s done. The original recipe that I found says 40-45 mins but mine is done in half that time, so I assume it depends on the oven settings. I use the top and bottom one. If you cut the cake into 8 pieces, one piece of it will have 5g protein which makes a perfect protein snack with just about 113kcal.

Here is a video of me prepping the cake. It’s really simple and takes 5 mins tops.

Enjoy!
