Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed black beans, ground oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla extract, maple syrup (or honey), beaten eggs, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.

  3. 3

    Pour into Pan

    Grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as desired.
