Why beans?
Bean cakes are high in fibre and super voluminous making them very filling for the calories consumed, this is especially helpful when dieting. They're quick and easy to make, high in protein-low in fat, also very tasty!. These cakes are very versatile, make them chocolatey, with cinnamon, fruity, plain or top them with berries, syrups, yogurt, ice cream, the list is endless! make them into bars and eat bit by bit or like me, eat a whole cake a day!
Ingredients:
- 1 Tin of your preferred beans, i like to use butter beans
- 25g of your preferred whey protein flavour (this will be the base flavour of the cake)
- 20g Self raising flour (can be substituted for oats, coconut flour, etc)
- 2 Egg whites
- 100ml Almond/coconut/soya/skimmed milk
- 1/2 TSP baking powder
- Sweetener to taste
- Berries of choice (can be done without but these help keep the cake moist)
Method:
1. Place all ingredients in blender minus the berries and blend.
2. line a cake tin with grease proof paper or grease a non stick tin.
3. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius or 390 Fahrenheit.
4. Pour mixture into cake tin, top with berries and place in oven for 20-30 minutes, poke with a skewer if it comes out clean its done.
5. leave cake to cool.
6. top the cake with your flexible treats.
