Flourless Carrot Cake Recipe: Made WIth Juiced Carrot Pulp

Do you like juicing carrots? Have you ever wondered if there was something you could do with the leftover carrot pulp to keep it zero waste? I have a good solution for you, a tasty flourless carrot cake. Our carrot shampoo bars are made with freshly juiced Organic carrots. I end up with a lot of carrot pulp from making our Carrot Shampoo bars and freeze the pulp for baking with later.

Flourless Carrot Cake by Aquarian Bath

2 cups cooked garbonzo beans

1 T molasses

3/4 c sugar

1/4 cup Organic Extra Virgin Olive oil

2/3 t pink salt

2 t Organic ginger powder

4 t Organic cinnamon powder

2 t baking soda

1 t Organic Stevia powder (green)

First mix the garbanzo beans in a food processor with olive oil until smooth.  Mix together with carrot pulp, eggs, sugar and molasses followed by the additional ingredients.  Bake in an oiled pan at 350 degrees F until the top becomes firm.  Test the inside of the cake with a tooth pick  or knife before pulling out of the oven.

Flourless Black Bean Brownie Recipe

I have had more time to try various recipes this summer. Here is a 100% flourless Black Bean Brownie recipe that we are enjoying. I modified this 3 times from another recipe, and this batch came out the best. Hope you like it. 

Cake-like Black Bean Brownies 

• 3 cups of strained and cooked black beans (equals 2 cans of cooked black beans) 
• 3 eggs (you can double the flax egg substitute below for vegan) 
• 3 T of ground flaxseed gelled with 7.5 T of filtered water 
• 1/2 c Organic Cocoa Powder 
• 2 t Vanilla extract 
• 1 t baking powder (corn free baking powder recipe) 
• 2 pinches pink salt 
• 1 c Organic sugar 
• 1/2 t Organic Stevia powder 
• 6 T Organic Extra Virgin Olive oil or Virgin Coconut oil

Mash the black beans in a food processor with oil, Vanilla extract, gelled flax seed, and egg.  Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.  Pour into a rectangular greased pan and bake in the oven a 350 degrees F until the surface of the brownie begins to crack, approximately 30-35 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely before serving. The black bean taste can be strong when they are fresh out of the oven. The bean taste will mellow even further if you refrigerate the brownies.

We get our Organic Cocoa Powder, Vanilla for making Vanilla extract, and Organic Stevia at Mountain Rose Herbs.
