Double Chocolate Cookies

I LOVE dessert and I LOVE chocolate even more. Ever since I have been 'clean eating' I have been trying all sorts of healthy recipes, learning to cook and bake different ways with ingredients I have never thought of using before. Trying to find a healthy dessert recipe that tastes good is even harder. A good dessert is hard to find without being packed with refined sugars and flour, right? WRONG! I came up with this double chocolate cookie recipe... the secret ingredient? BLACK BEANS! Please don't knock them before you try them. They come out soft , chocolatey, cake-like and oh so delicious!!!

Double Chocolate cookies

2 tbsp whole wheat flour 

1/8 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking powder

4tbsp cocoa powder

1 can rinsed & strained black beans (make sure to rinse really well)

2tbsp peanut butter (or other nut butter)

3tbsp Agave nectar 

2tsp Truvia (or stevia)

1tbsp coconut oil

2tbsp chocolate almond milk (or milk of choice)

Chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Makes 10-12 cookies

In a bowl mix together Flour, Salt, Baking Powder, Cocoa Powder, and set aside. In a food processor (or powerful blender such as a Ninja) combine Black Beans, peanut butter, Agave nectar, Truvia, Coconut oil, and milk, blend well (2-3 mins depending on processor) it will look like a paste. Add dry ingredients a little bit at a time until blended well (will have cookie- dough like consistency).  Use a medium-sized ice cream scoop and scoop onto a cookie sheet (if you don't have an ice cream scoop you may use a tablespoon). Sprinkle chocolate chips on top (you may have to press into cookie for them to stay).  Bake 10-12 mins. Cool before eating and ENJOY!!!!! How can something so yummy be healthy???
