Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3.5 (ZReboot 3.5) recipe.

I have not perfected low-carb baking yet but these are pretty good. They have a little denser texture than a light and fluffy cupcake but since they are made the old-fashioned way they don’t have chemical ingredients that processed cupcakes do. They might remind you of a cupcake your grandma made.

They have a secret ingredient in them. Don’t freak. It’s beans. They keep them moist and if you follow the instructions you won’t taste the beans at all. If you want them to be really sweet you’ll need to add some extra sweetener. They were plenty sweet for my husband. He really likes them but your family might yearn for them to be sweeter. You decide.

I found this recipe online and changed a few bits to Zolafy it!

Servings: Serves 12

Ingredients:

• 15 oz can of white beans (cannellini beans)
• 5 large eggs plus one egg yolk
• 6 Tbl of butter, softened to room temperature
• ¾ tsp of liquid stevia or ¾ cup of ZSweet or Swerve (new sugar substitutes.  Order online)
• 1 Tbl of vanilla
• 6 Tbl of coconut flour
• ½ tsp of grated sea salt
• ½ tsp of baking soda
• 1 tsp of baking powder (try to find the kind that has no aluminum in it)

Instructions:

Preheat oven at 350 degrees.

Rinse the beans in a sieve and shake off the water. In a blender, blend the beans with the eggs, vanilla and salt. In a large mixing bowl cream the softened butter with the sugar substitute. Beat in the pureed mixture. Measure out the coconut flour. Pack it into the measuring spoon and take a knife to level it off. Add to the batter along with the rest of the dry ingredients. Whip for another 2 minutes.

Spoon the batter into muffin liners that have been lightly sprayed with olive oil spray. Use your ¼ cup measuring spoon to fill the muffin liners. Fill then to ¾ full. Bake the cupcakes for 25 minutes or until they begin to get golden and spring back when you touch them.

Make sure you let the cupcakes set for a minimum of 3 hours. Even better, let them set overnight if possible. During this waiting time the bean flavor dissipates and disappears.

I frosted mine with the cream cheese frosting.

Be careful with these. Don’t eat more than one a day and watch the scale to see how your body reacts. They are very low-carb (4 grams) without the frosting.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
