INGREDIENTS

0.75 cup black beans

1 tbsp almond flour

40 gram whey protein isolate

1 tbsp almond butter

1 tsp olive oil

1 tbsp cacao powder

0.5 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp honey

0.13 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp vanilla extract

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Rinse the black beans thoroughly in a colander and pat them completely dry with a paper towel to ensure the proper cookie texture.

• 3

  Place the dried black beans, almond butter, olive oil, honey, and vanilla extract into a food processor.

• 4

  Process the mixture on high until it is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

• 5

  Add the whey protein isolate, almond flour, cacao powder, baking powder, and sea salt to the processor.

• 6

  Pulse the ingredients until just combined into a thick, sticky dough, being careful not to over-process.

• 7

  Using a small spoon, scoop the dough into 25 tiny mounds on the prepared baking sheet.

• 8

  Lightly press down on each mound with a damp finger or the back of a spoon to flatten them slightly.

• 9

  Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the cookies are set on the edges but still feel soft in the center.

• 10

  Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up before eating.
