Yields7 ServingsCategoryDessert
1 can of kidney beans
30 g vanilla protein powder
30 g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp granulated sweetener
40 g coconut oil
Icing
1 tbsp icing sugar
sprinkles to decorate
1
Preheat your oven to 180C and lie a 20x20 baking tray/dish with parchment paper.
2
Drain the kidney beans & rinse well.
Add all the ingredients (bar the icing sugar & sprinkles) to a blender or food processor & blend to a smooth mixture.
3
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tray & bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Also to cool fully.
4
Once cooled, take a fork & mash up the baked mixture until it resembles crumbled up cake.
Then form into 21 equal mini balls & place in the fridge to firm up.
When the protein balls are firm, make the icing using the icing sugar & a tsp of water. Place a dollop on each & top with the sprinkles.
These could be made bigger for one large snack, but I prefer the little ones!
