Ingredients
  

  • 14 ounces black beans cooked, rinsed and drained
  • 4 egg whites
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened (25 g)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup applesauce (unsweetened) unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup agave syrup
  • 1/2 cup walnuts raw (55 g)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F/180C/gas mark 4.
  • Spray 8 ramekins or an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Roughly chop the walnuts, reserving 8 halves.
  • Combine all the ingredients except the nuts in a food processor or blender and blend just until smooth. Do not overblend or you will end up with a gluey texture from the beans.
  • Stir in half the walnuts; reserve some to put on top. Pour into the baking dish or ramekins.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes (ramekins) and 30-40 minutes (baking dish) until the tops are dry and the edges start to pull away from the sides.

Top with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt sweetened with a little honey if you like. I freeze the extras and thaw in the microwave when I need a hit of chocolate.
