1 can of Garbanzo Beans (Drained and rinsed thoroughly)
4 eggs
6 oz (1/2 can) of 100% apple juice concentrate (Melted)
1/4 cup of honey (Increase to up to 1 cup if you prefer a sweeter cake, but I liked it fine like this)
1/2 avocado
1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup rice flour
2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup rice flour
1/2 cup coco powder
Blended all together in my Ninja mixer until lump free. (I used a Ninja, you could use a vitamix or a food processor)
Blended all of the wet ingredients first and then mixed all of the dry ingredients in a bowl and added to the blender.
Blended until smooth.
Pour about 3/4 full in cupcake cups and cook at 350 for 18-19 mins. (Bake until toothpick comes out clean)
The kids had no idea that I made these any different from a chocolate cake. Sylvia and JR both ate one and asked for more right away!
I frosted them with a simple frosting made with coconut oil, a couple TBLSPs of Butter, coco powder and a little powder sugar. (So the frosting did technically have regular sugar in it, but the baby liked them just fine un-frosted. I think the 8 year old expects to see frosting on a cupcake, but it was so little, I don't think it can hurt.)
