Healthy logs with black beans
The best recipe for healthy tree trunks
These healthy tree trunks tastes exactly like a classic log from the bakery. However, they do not contain cake residues, but get their good consistency from black beans. The filling consists mainly of protein- and fiber-rich black beans, and they can therefore be enjoyed as a healthy snack without completely crashing your blood sugar. And don't worry! The black beans cannot be tasted. When blended with the remaining ingredients, their taste is completely camouflaged, and they only help to give the perfect rum ball consistency.

Healthy tree trunks with dates
The healthy tree trunks are sweetened with dates. This helps to give a good, sticky consistency so that the filling in the tree trunks holds together. In addition, almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut oil, and rum essence are added.
Variations of ingredients for black bean log stew
- If you wish, you can also add a spoonful or two of jam if you have it on hand (e.g. raspberry or orange). It gives a really nice and slightly fresher flavour to the filling.
- Instead of coconut oil, you can use butter in the recipe. Just take the butter out of the refrigerator well in advance so that it softens and can be easily blended with the remaining ingredients.
- The rum essence can easily be omitted or replaced with a little rum. Feel free to add a little extra almond flour so the filling doesn't become too sticky.
