Double Dark Chocolate Black Bean Cookies (GF, VG)

Black beans may not seem like an ideal cookie ingredient, but trust us on this one — they are a great way to pack in protein while also achieving the ideal cookie crumb. Feel free to add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for some texture.

Ingredients
  1. 1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
  2. 2 T. olive or melted coconut oil
  3. 2 T. brown rice flour
  4. ½ t. baking powder or baking soda (baking powder helps to hold the cookies together better, but baking soda gives a better taste to the cookie)
  5. ½ t. sea salt
  6. 6 T. cocoa powder
  7. 4 T. coconut sugar (or another natural granulated sweetener)
  8. 2 T. maple syrup or honey
  9. 1 T. milk (I like using light coconut milk for its richness and flavor, but any will work)
  10. ¼ t. (scant) powdered stevia extract
  11. 2 t. vanilla
  12. ¼ c. chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Put all of the ingredients into a food processor in the order listed (except for the chopped chocolate).
  3. Process until smooth and well combined (2-3 minutes), scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Using a spoon, scoop the dough out onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet (I get 12 decent-sized cookies).
  5. Top each cookie with a sprinkle of the chopped dark chocolate.
  6. Bake the cookies for 19-21 minutes.
  7. Cool completely. This is VERY important, as it allows the cookies to set and hold together upon being picked up, as they have no binder or gluten.
  8. Enjoy!
