Prep:
15 minutes
Cook:
40 minutes
Cool: 1 hour
Ingredients:
One 15-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup (about 4 large) egg whites or fat-free liquid egg substitute
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup canned pure pumpkin
1/4 cup Truvia spoonable calorie-free sweetener (or another no-calorie granulated sweetener; see HG FYI)
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. peanut butter baking chips, chopped
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously spray 8 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
Place all ingredients except peanut butter chips in a food processor. Puree until completely smooth and uniform.
Fold in 1 tbsp. chopped peanut butter chips.
Evenly distribute batter into the 8 cups of the muffin pan, and smooth out the tops. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tbsp. chopped peanut butter chips, and lightly press into the batter.
Bake until a toothpick (or knife) inserted into the center of a cake comes out mostly clean, 35 - 40 minutes.
Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
Refrigerate leftovers.

HG FYI: Truvia spoonable calorie-free sweetener is about twice as sweet as sugar. If using a no-calorie granulated sweetener that measures cup-for-cup like sugar instead of Truvia, double the amount called for in this recipe.
