Have Your Cake and Eat it Too...with the Max 21 Fitness Black Bean Cake Recipe!

Happy Friday, Max 21 Fitness gurus!
Are you craving a sweet treat, but trying to avoid all that sugar, carbs, & fat?

Then why not try the Max 21 Fitness black bean cake recipe? It contains low-glycemic index carbs, protein-packed Greek yogurt & eggs, and calorie-free vanilla flavoring (mmmm)!
Ingredients:

-one 15 oz. can unseasoned black beans (organic)
-one 3.5 oz container of Greek yogurt (we like Stonyfield Organic)

-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-4 cage-free, organically fed eggs
-1 tablespoon of organic vanilla extract
-3/4 cup Stevia
-1 pear for garnish (if it's in season!)

Directions:

-Preheat your oven to 325 F. Rinse the beans and puree them with the vanilla extract in a blender. If the mixture stalls, add a little bit of water.

-In a bowl, mix together cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, Stevia, and Greek yogurt together.

-Add the bean puree to the egg, Stevia, and yogurt mixture until well-mixed.

-Gently mix in the cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder.

-Grease a 9-inch cake pan and pour in the batter.

-Bake for 40 to 50 minutes.

-Allow to cool. Then slice, garnish with a piece of pear, serve & enjoy!
