We finished it off at a family picnic today! Thanks for the fabulous recipe!

Thanks Stephanie! I don't know if that is the same as coconut flour. Maybe the store owner would know. I don't like artificial sweeteners either, but the stevia I use is made from the herb and water—that's it (I made a video about it on my blog if you're interested in watching it). And it has an aftertaste if you use a lot, like more than a couple drops in coffee, but I guarantee it doesn't have an aftertaste in my baked good recipes =) However, if you still don't want to use it, you could experiment with adding more honey or agave =)

Thanks, Amy!

Thanks Katrina! Boy, you were making me tear up! I want to give you and your daughter a big hug! Lots of love to you!

You're welcome, Michelle! I can't wait for you to play, "Lets see if the neighbor can guess what this cake is made of!" LOL I do that all the time, and my neighbors love it! =)

Thank you, Renee! I am so honored! How blessed am I to be a part of so many good times?! xoxo

Your bean cake is a staple at house! It is soooooo good that our "pickiest, non-gluten free, load me up with sugar" son asked for vanilla bean cake for his birthday!!

Keep up the good work>

As for the beans, good stuff! I started cooking from dried beans about a year ago, and it's wonderful! So much cheaper, and the texture is glorious. The best of all were the beans I'd gotten from last year's farmer's market! I almost always use a quick soak method (boil for 2 minutes, turn off and cover for 1 hour) but last night I put some chick peas in the fridge in a pot of water…

I have fallen behind on making extras, but for awhile was freezing beans w/ juice after making a ton. Then it was just as easy as having canned beans around.

I didn't have coconut sugar – what's that? But I used maple sugar and it came out wonderful.

Thank you!

Thanks Nina! I think you will love it =)

Thanks Kristi! I'm thrilled!

Thanks Laurie!

Thank Kristan!

Thanks Alexa! You are so sweet =)

Thanks Cathy!

Thanks Melissa! It is awesome =) Most health foods store are likely to have coconut flour, especially the big ones.

You're welcome, Candice! My daughters also had a complete change when I removed it =)

Thank you Carrie! I am so happy for you! What a treasure to be a part of your success! Lots of love to you!

Thanks Christa! I hope you enjoy it when you finish your candida diet =)

Thanks Heidi Kelly! You are so sweet! And I agree we are so NOT deprived =) woohoo for healthy food that tastes great!

Thanks Jennifer R! I really appreciate your support! And I will share what I wrote about Ashley's progress. I know you will relate =)

Thanks Aubree! I think being into dry beans it's sort of like being a collector—always on the look out =) We got some really pretty ones at the farmers market a couple weeks ago. A big bag, organic, and only 3 dollars. It will probably yield a dozen cakes. How cool is that? =)

You're welcome, Iris =) I hope you have success with your next bean adventure =)

Here's to the Revolution!

And thanks for the note about the dried beans. I usually will cook my own as well, but I've gotten lazy lately and so was just buying the cans. I'm going to try to get back on track now!!

Oh, and I would LOVE to hear more about your family's road to health. I always find those stories so fascinating, and perhaps some might parallel my family

Thank you for this recipe! I have only just begun to really cook beans from scratch and you are right… what a difference it makes!

I have been making desserts with pureed beans all the live long day lately, and you really cannot tell they are in there! It makes this mama feel smart when she gets her kiddos to gobble up added nutrition and fiber!

I am also new to coconut flour, thanks to you and we love it. You are a great inspiration that eating well does not equal deprivation. Thank you for all you do!

I have been following your blog for a few months now and I wanted to tell you how inspiring you have been. You give me hope that I can make great tasting food, especially baked goods, and follow the grain free, sugar free, dairy free diet that has allowed me to lose over 50 lbs and become healthier.

Thanks Sarah Thursby!

Thanks Shirley! I actually wrote a more in-depth explanation of how Ashley has improved, but I can't decide what to do with it. I may post it on our family blog, or I may put it in my next book. I don't know yet, but I want to share it =)

Thanks mama! We love them as snacks too =)

Thanks Alison! I can't wait for yours!

Thanks Jamie! Let me know what you think =)

Thanks Brit!

Thanks Debbie, you're so sweet!

Wonderful post, my dear!

Shirley

Thanks Melissa! I know your post will rock, girl!

Thanks Jennifer! Can't wait for you to try it!

Jenna, I've never made refried beans—sounds delish! =)

Thanks Alta! It was inspired by Lauren at Healthy Indulgences =)

Deanna, I think palm sugar would be fine too =)

Thanks Arlyn! XOXO
