Chocolate Black Bean Cookies

HELLO, IT’S BEEN A WHILE SO THANK YOU FOR VISITING.

I’ve been making chickpea or navy bean cookies for years and I’ve even tried black bean brownies, but BLACK BEAN COOKIES? How did I not think of this? Considering, I’m a huge dark chocolate lover and I’m always trying to make treats from whole foods. I haven’t had any sugar in my house because I just don’t see the need. I personally opt for a little maple syrup and lots of true cinnamon.

These cookies are so fudge-y, creamy, ‘not dry', and very chocolate-y. They’re also high in protein, fibre, magnesium and antioxidants so basically:

YOU NEED TO MAKE THESE.

As many of you know I’m more ‘creative’ type in the kitchen so these measurements are approximate. I got so many Instagram messages asking for this to be on the blog so it’s FINALLY HERE.

Chocolate Black Bean Cookies

Vegan, Gluten-Free

Ingredients for a big batch

• 1 798 ml/ 28 fl oz can of organic BPA free black beans (or bulk)

• 4 TBSP coconut oil

• 4TBSP brown rice flour

• 1 tsp baking powder, aluminum free

• 1 tsp Himalayan salt

• 10-12 TBSP of organic cacao, vary based on how chocolate-y you want it

• 3-4 TBSP maple syrup, enough to take away the bitterness of cacao

• 2 TBSP plant mylk or 2 TBSP water with a scoop of Garu Foods creamer

• 2 tsp of organic ground vanilla

• 2 tsp of organic true cinnamon (code brucesroots10 for 10% off all items)

• Chocolate chips, I used Everland vegan mini chips, or pieces of chocolate bar

• Option to add adaptogens such as maca or my favourite cinnamon chaga

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350

• Add all of the food to a food processor in order listed except for chocolate chips

• Process until smooth, taste testing as you go

• Mix in chocolate chips by hand and form into balls

• Place on parchment paper on cookie sheet or use a reusable mat. Flatten them if you don’t want them to be bites/ball shaped

• Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes

• I enjoy them fresh out of the oven, but they do set better if you let them cool as there is no binder

They taste amazing with fresh organic raspberries. I enjoy these with breakfast, as an afternoon snack or as dessert, so basically all day long.

Tag me on instagram or comment on the blog if you make them.
