Flourless Salted Caramel Cupcakes

Imagine a moist caramel cupcake with a creamy topping drizzled with homemade caramel sauce. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it?

Using this recipe from the Trim Healthy’s Mamas Pearl Barrett and Serene Allison and their new cookbook, Trim Healthy Mama’s Trim Healthy Table, they are yummy and super easy to make. In fact, you don’t even have to use a mixer. The blender does all the work.

White beans.

Do not close the browser! I swear that they taste just like regular cupcakes. Just make them one day in advance and while they refrigerate, all the yumminess comes through.

When I first read this recipe from the Trim Healthy Table Cookbook,  I was like, BEANS? in my cupcakes? Will they taste like hummus? or dip? Yuck!

But then I stopped being a coward and when for it.

All I needed to do was dump all the ingredients in a blender, pour into the muffin tin and bake.

It’s hard to believe that white beans mixed with simple ingredients can bake up into a delicious, sweet, and moist cupcake.

See? Golden springy nuggets of flavor. Without the hummus taste, of course.

Then, you make your cream cheese frosting and top it with an amazing homemade caramel sauce.

Let me tell you, the caramel sauce is INCREDIBLE. Tastes just like butterscotch. I am making some more tomorrow.

    My favorite recipe is a pumpkin chili recipe I got from an auto immune paleo cookbook. Just add bacon to make it even better! 😉

    My favorite healthy recipe right now is the chocolate lava muffin! I’m new to THM and that recipe is helping curb my desire for sugary desserts.

    THM is great. My quick go to food when crunched for time is berry whip made with cottage cheese or Greek Keifer.. I make it with berries or peanut flour. Quick & yummy!
