I thought legumes were not Paleo?? I’m confused!
Do you use canned black beans? How do you buy them?
and do you strain the beans? I made this for the first time and the cake didn’t cook fully, more like a chocolate pudding. Recipe not fail-safe yet. What do you advice?
I have made these twice now, subbing organic evaporated cane juice for the honey, and both times they have been awesome! I use a slightly different recipe for the filling, but my kids and all of their classmates (they took them as birthday treats in kindergarten and 2nd grade classrooms) and everyone raved about them! Such a fantastic allergy friendly recipe. THANK YOU!
I just made these..and there is WAAAY too much baking soda in it!! they looked great but tasted disgusting!! what a waste of ingredients…
looks yum, but what is black bean?
hi, I’m wondering the same about the baking soda? should it be powder? I put 2 T or batter each on a cookie sheet , baked for 20 minutes and the seemed to make a nice fluffy cookie so maybe the baking soda works out fine. I only ask because my hubby questioned the powder.. he’s a baker by trade. Just made these for dinner, my toddler and I loved em. I only put in a small handfull of chocochips but I would probably add a little more next time to satisfy my tastes. I didn’t fill them but I did dip them in a little bit of pureed coconut meat w/ a splash of vanilla.
just wondering if it's supposed to be baking powder instead of soda??? 🙂
Your round abouts look and sound absolutely delish! What a fantastic recipe – I love that it has black beans in it.
Delicious! Another great recipe Coconut Mama!
Oh yum! Another black bean recipe to try out! They look very yummy!
