Ingredients

  • 1 - 15 oz (540 ml) can of black beans, drained, rinsed, dried

  • 125 ml (½ cup) peanut butter

  • 80 ml (⅓ cup) maple syrup

  • 60 ml (¼ cup) cocoa powder

  • 6.5 ml (1¼ tsp) baking powder

  • 1.5 ml (¼ tsp) sea salt

  • 2 pieces of 85% dark chocolate (such as Lindt), roughly chopped

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Blend all ingredients, except the chocolate chips, in a food processor until you have a thick, uniform dough. If necessary, stop the processor to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and restart a few times.
  3. Form 8 balls, then flatten them into discs. Shape the dough as desired, as it will not spread or rise during baking.
  4. Add the chocolate chips on top of each cookie with a pinch of sea salt.
  5. Place the discs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cookies are set and have small cracks.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keeps for 5 days in the refrigerator or freezes for 3 months in an airtight container.
