Ingredients

  • Cake
  • 12 ounces Creole Cream Style Blue Runner Red Beans, No Salt Added
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup 2% reduced fat Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) natural red food coloring
  • 1 cup Swerve Sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • Natural red sprinkles, optional
  • Frosting
  • 4 ounces low-fat cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup confectioners-style Swerve Sweetener
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Puree beans, vanilla extract and eggs in a blender or food processor. Add yogurt and continue to blend until all lumps are removed.
  3. Pour into a bowl and add cocoa powder, food coloring and Swerve.
  4. In another bowl, mix together coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda and vinegar. The mixture should begin to fizz. Add to batter and mix in.
  5. Grease cupcake pan or spray cupcake liners with cooking spray and pour the batter in, about 4/5 full.
