Blender Cupcakes
Who doesn’t love cupcakes!? These are a real treat because they’re easy to make and because when topped with a delicious Date-Guava Frosting.
Ingredients
- One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- One 16-ounce box angel-food cake mix*
- 1 cup pitted dates, chopped (about 20 small or 10 large)
- 1 cup chopped nuts, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Prep a standard muffin tin with paper liners or mist with oil spray. Set aside.
- Puree the beans and 1 cup of water in a blender. Add the cake mix and dates to the blender and combine until smooth.
- Stir in the nuts by hand, if using. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tins about three-quarters of the way high and bake for about 18 to 24 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Note: Cook immediately or the angel food cake will deflate, and you’ll wind up with flattened (albeit delicious!) cupcakes.
- Top each with 1 tablespoon Date-Guava Frosting if desired. (Add 25 calories per tbsp for spread.)
