Tip
This GLUTEN FREE / NUT FREE /HIGH PROTEIN cake is wonderfully moist and works with most canned beans. Chickpeas work but they have a bit of a strong taste. If you use a round tin it will take a few minutes longer to bake.
You can also use oil instead of butter to make it dairy free - but butter is better!!
You can also make it in muffin tins which take about 20 mins to cook.

Nadeane: my daughter has recently been diagnosed with type 1 so I was wondering this too. The advice we received was that in baking, sugar is slightly buffered by other ingredients and this is packed with beans and eggs - high protein foods. The issue is carb load for type 1 diabetics. I usually reduce the amount of sugar in cakes anyway and I am going to try this with a sugar substitute and then watch my daughter's CGM closely...
Love these. Usually turn them into muffins.

Partner looked at me crazy and asked if I had enough sleep when I said to put kidney beans on the shopping list for my chocolate cake!
Apart from taking about an extra half an hour cooking, this was absolutely amazing! (The first gf recipe I have enjoyed!)
Will definitely be making this again!
Omg these are amazing!!

I replace the sugar with Medjool dates to make it sugar free, I just wizz it up more at the same stage as sugar is added.
Always moist and amazing!

Sensational. Light fluffy cake. Deeelicious. My husband couldn't believe there wasn't any flour in the recipe. I only added 75g coconut sugar as i prefer things less sweet and they were perfect for me. I added the coffee whcih i think really helps bring out the chocolate flavour. Cooked as muffins (12) in fan forced 160 for 20-25mins.

With three coeliacs in this household this is an absolute winner.
Better than expected! What an incredible recipe that turns out so moist. We made cupcakes - cooked exactly for 20 minutes. The males in the house , who both hate beans, gobbled these down! Thankyou.

Great cake! Cooked in pie maker and yield was eight perfect cakes. Iced with Chocolate cream cheese frosting - absolutely delish.
Will try cupcakes next time as the pie maker size was too big for just one person at a time!
just made again, used red kidney beans I cooked in thermie and froze in 240g bags (amount you actually get from 400g tin). Cooked in mini muffin tins, yields 48, took 12 minutes at 180 degrees. Beautiful!

Great way to hide veggies in food for the kids and a great protein hit for parents. Lovely moist muffins and perfect with icecream too.
I actually prefer using chickpeas over kidney beans as you dont get the pieces of skin like the beans. I buy the organic chickpeas from Woolies and they dont taste strong at all.

Finally got around to making this cake & it did not disappoint. The whole family loved it and the kids were very surprised to find out after eating it that it had beans in it!
Thank you for the recipe. Will definitely be making this again.

Amazing! I added a packet of dark choc chips and mixed throughout the batter, baked in a small square pan. It took about 45 minutes, I did lower the temp once it was almost baked to avoid over cooking the edges while the inside still needed to bake. It turned out like a brownie. Moist inside with choc chips speckled throughout and on top. We got 16 square pieces. So dark and decadent my 7yo devoured it for dessert and my husband could not believe it’s mainly beans and eggs. You can’t even taste the kidney beans. Little missy has some in her lunchbox for tomorrow and thinks it’s awesome she has a brownie for recess! Winning! I am always on the hunt for high protein, nut free, healthier ‘treat’ snacks for school and this was a hit!

Had been meaning to make this recipe for over a year. Discovered a tin of kidney beans at the back of the pantry this afternoon so decided to give it a go. Decided on muffins. My very fussy miss 7 inhaled one & declared they were the best. Thanks 🙏

I really liked these and added spinach to them too.
My family weren’t overly happy with them finding them too bitter so I would have to either add more sugar or reduce the cocoa amount next time. I thought these tasted like a delicious piece of dark chocolate with a fudge moistness to them and was quite happy with the result.
The kids eventually ate them with a dollop of cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.
