Ingredients
1 can Pinto Beans (unseasoned!)3 eggs3/4 cup Splenda granular, for baking2.5 tsp vanilla extract1/2 c unsweetened applesauce OR one 4oz jar baby food (this replaces oil/butter in the recipe --I used an apple-blueberry baby food)2 tsp Pumpkin Pie spice1 tsp baking powder1 tsp baking soda
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a large circular or rectangular pan (9x9 or thereabouts) with nonstick cooking spray.

In a blender, combine all ingredients (beans, eggs, splenda, baby food, vanilla, spice, baking powder and soda.) Blend until very smooth.

Pour into your prepared baking pan and transfer to oven. Bake about 30 minutes at 350 degrees, or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.

Let cool completely before removing from pan. If there is any "bean" aroma or flavor when the cake is fresh out of the oven, this should fade completely as cake is stored overnight in a refrigerator. I personally use lite Cool Whip to "frost" each slice before eating, but a fat-free cream cheese frosting might work as well.
