Ingredients
- 1 cup (drained and rinsed) canned black beans
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed black beans, almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, egg, melted butter, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until you have a smooth and thick dough.
Step 3
Fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips using a spatula.
Step 4
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 5
Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon, as they will not spread much during baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges look set and the tops feel slightly firm to the touch.
Step 7
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
