I have a tasty recipe to share with you today that I've been keeping secret for a few weeks! I had to make sure it was perfect before sharing the recipe with you, obviously! 
Since I created this recipe a few weeks ago, I've made it several times. Therefore, I've went to foodie heaven several times…
It's moist, chocolatey, and high in protein without any protein powder believe it or not! Lately, I've only been having protein powder in my post workout shakes. I think I like it that way best – focusing on eating real and whole foods. Not powders. But, that's just my preference 
This recipe is easy peasy just like I promised yesterday because you can have it hot and ready to eat in under five minutes with the use of your microwave!
Black Bean Chocolate Mug Cake
Makes 1 serving
1 TBSP cocoa powder
1 TBSP coconut flour
1/2 cup black beans
1/4 cup egg whites or 1 whole egg
2 TBSP liquid (almond milk, cow's milk, soy milk, coconut milk etc.)
pinch of baking powder
a few drops of liquid stevia
Blend all together until smooth batter forms.
Heat in microwave for 2 – 3 minutes or until fully cooked!
Unfortunately, I don't have a pretty picture of this delicious little treat because, let's face it, are mug cakes ever really pretty?
No, of course not. But, I
can promise you that it is absolutely delicious
It's even better when you top it with almond butter…
Or coconut butter…
Or walnut butter…
Or hazelnut butter…
The hazelnut variation reminds me of a Ferrero Rocher
The possibilities are endless! I hope you enjoy!
Love always,
Meg

This sounds delicious (not to mention super easy to pull together) – I can't wait to try it!
I hope you love it, Lillian
Or you could just eat the Ferraro!
Oh trust me, I do. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
Oh my god when did you change your blog?!?? I love it so much!! I've been so behind on blog reading/writing/commenting, so I'm sorry I haven't been around in a while! Anyway, I just wanted to say that I miss you, LOVE the new look, and as a bonus, the mug cake looks delicious
I'm totally going to trick Jonny with this recipe heh heh
This sounds awesome! I love just about anything chocolate! I've never tried cooking with black beans though! Bet it's great!
Sounds delicious!!! I will have to try this one for sure
I cannot tell you how much I want to try this recipe!!! Ive made black bean brownies before, but the individual serving is genius. This WILL be happening soon. Thanks!
I love making my Mexican Black Bean Brownies… I can't believe I never thought of trying them in a mug cake! You are so smart! Will me trying this as soon as I get my hands on some more beans. xoxo
Yum!! This sounds delicious! I wonder if I could use a flax egg instead of a real egg instead?
oh man that looks good, I never thought of adding black beans. got to try this
Oh YUM!! I have seen so many dessert recipes with black beans that look so good but I am hesitant to cook sweet with beans. I too only like to have protein powder for pre/post workouts and agree that it is really hard to find a good sweet recipe that does not involve PP. Since this is a single serving recipe I can try it and not have to worry about having to throw away a whole bunch of something I don't like. However, I trust you and our taste buds so I am sure I will LOVE this. Thankt you Meg!!!
This looks delicious!! I'll have to make it for my husband and see if he notices that it's "healthy".
Thanks for the recipe!!
I. Cannot. WAIT. To try this!
I've never had success baking with beans, but I am intrigued by this one, Meg! Might just have to give it another try
Looks SO DELICIOUS! Can't wait to try it.
Oooh love the sound of this! I love things that's take mere minutes in the microwave
I really really really love your blog! I keep stopping by just to stare at it!
Yum!! I've baked with garbanzo beans before (I made a chocolate chip cookie pie), and the recipe turned out incredibly well. And I've heard that black beans in brownies (or in your case, mug cake) always results in a yummy dessert!
This sounds awesome! I love that it has black beans in it! Wanna share??? ;)
Looks great love! I can't wait to try it! My last mug cake was this chocolate peanut butter one (yes, ugly too!):http://www.treatswithatwist.com/2012/10/dark-chocolate-peanut-butter-mug-cake.html
sounds delicious!! got to love quick and easy desserts too!
I used to bake a lot with beans but haven't recently. Thanks for the great reminder Meg! Your recipe sounds delish.
I just tried this, it was amazing and the texture was totally awesome. I'm no longer a virgin to baking with beans!
