I think I almost died.
Ummm…k. Maybe not. But these black bean chocolate chip cookies are amazing!
I dished them out to every member of my family (except Pepper – dogs should NOT have xylitol or chocolate) and EVEN the skeptical husband LOVED them. He did!
In fact, everyone loved them.
They don’t taste healthy…but they are. Win-win!
I adapted my recipe to Trim Healthy Mama guidelines and here you have a version of the black bean chocolate chip cookies that are perfect for an S (Satisfying) treat.
Black Bean Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 16 cookies
- 1 can no-salt or low-salt black beans, rinsed well
- 2 T. almond milk
- 1 1/2 T. peanut butter/nut butter of choice
- 2 T. olive oil
- 2 T. almond flour
- ¼ c. unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ c. + 1 T. xylitol (ground fine in a coffee grinder)
- 1 t. baking powder
- 1 t. vanilla extract
- pinch of cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1/3 c. sugar-free chocolate chips
We’ve made these a couple times now. Ours turn out pretty gooey too, but still delicious! Thanks for sharing!
That’s too bad Shanna that they are turning out gooey. Are you baking them on a stone or a regular pan?
I have everything except xylitol. Can I not use that or sub something?
To stay with the Trim Healthy Mama eating plan, I’d say either Truvia or Erythritol (though this one is not as sweet so you may need to add more or make your own Truvia). If you are not concerned with sugar, you can use regular white granulated sugar or coconut sugar. (I have not tested it with either though)
I’ve made these a few times and they are very good – you would hardly know they have black beans in them! However, I did have a question-Today I calculated the nutritional info and without the SF chocolate chips mine came out as 3g fat, 3g net carbs, and 2.7 protein per cookie. The chocolate chips have more carbs per TBsp than fat so I was curious as to how it came out as an S dessert? Thanks!
I’m so glad you like them Katie! 🙂 The fiber in the beans makes the carb count less and keeps it in S territory.
Is the nut butter necessary for them to come out properly? I’m not a fan of peanut butter at all and don’t have any almond butter on hand.
I’ve never made them without peanut butter Shyla. Sorry I can’t help but you can try it without.
Ok so I have dried beans. How long do I soak them?
Hi, these sound great. I was wondering if I need to use stoneware or could a regular pan work??
A regular pan will work!
I was wondering what size can of beans? 19 oz or smaller?
Thanks
15 oz can is the correct size.
