Not only are they clean, they're easy peasy to make too! The main ingredient is a bit of a surprise....it's chickpeas! I know, I wasn't sure either to start with, but honestly they are really tasty. A real chocolate hit! They got a big thumbs up from the kids, so that's a winner in my book.
Chickpeas are a good source of protein, are high in fibre and will aid your digestion, so it would almost be rude not to eat these!
Clean Chocolate Cupcakes
400g tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed,
3 large eggs
6 fl oz of honey (or I used agave nectar),
40g unsweetened cocoa powder (I like Green and Blacks Organic Cocoa),
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda,
3 tbsp. coconut oil, melted,
1/2 tsp caramel extract (optional, or you could use peppermint extract for a change)
- Preheat the oven to 180deg C.
- Prepare a cupcake baking tray with 12 paper cases.
- Put all of the ingredients into a blender and whizz them up until smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly between the cake cases.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Allow to cool then enjoy!
