Time 22m

Yield 16 cookies, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

15 1/2 ounces canned black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F Lined two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a food processor add all the ingredients except chocolate chips. Blend until smooth. The batter should be similar to a thick mousse. Add chocolate chips and incorporate into the batter (don't use the food processor for this though unless you want the chips chopped up).
Using a spoon or cookie scoop place 16 dollops of batter on the cookie sheets. Use a spoon to flatten the cookies into round shapes like in the pictures.
Bake for 12-15 minutes (they should still be a little soft when you remove them from the oven). Set a side a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
