Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I like trying different recipes just for fun, and found this one below, which I adapted to my won tastes. Mmmmm.....delicious!
Ingredients:
243 grams of canned black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons fat free milk (regular, skim, coconut, whatever you like)
36 grams of peanut butter
14 grams of butter
16 grams flour
10 grams of stevia (or sugar or agave nectar)
4 grams baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch cinnamon
Pinch salt
21 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
64 grams Nestle Toll House chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
In a food processor, or using a hand mixer, combine the beans, milk, peanut butter, butter and vanilla and process until smooth. Working in small batches, add the dry mixture to the food processor and process until fully incorporated (it will resemble mousse). Transfer to a bowl and fold in the chocolate chips (do not process).
Drop heaping soup spoonfuls onto a prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie with a fork or knife, as they will not spread out on their own. Bake for about 12-15 minutes (the cookies will still be a bit soft). Cool the cookies on the pan for a few minutes and then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in the refrigerator due to the black beans.

Yeah... Some things are just wrong. Black beans in my cookies just seem wrong. I'd rather make the normal kind as a really rare treat.0

I like trying different things, but I can understand people being reluctant to try them. You can't taste the black beans at all, and use a gluten free flour and those with celiac disease can eat them.0 -
I actually WOULD try them if I had black beans, but like I said all I have are kidney beans. I've made bean-based brownies before, they were ew. But they also lacked sweetener

You lost me when you listed black beans and I love black beans!! :P
ETA: I do like how you have everything measured in grams.

I like adzuki beans in dessert and baked beans in maple syrup so I can see this working. I made the black bean brownies and they were meh. Too much work and I had no patience.0
-
I'll try them with a gluten free flour. Maybe coconut. Or garbanzo bean. For beanception. Thanks!0

I'd like to make these but how when everything is listed in grams??0

So, Don the beau is hard to please when it comes to strangely made foods....and he LOVES them.
You can't actually taste the black beans.I'd like to make these but how when everything is listed in grams??
You have to weight your ingredients in order to have accuracy.mamapeach910 wrote: »I'll try them with a gluten free flour. Maybe coconut. Or garbanzo bean. For beanception. Thanks!
I can't wait to hear what you think of them.0 -
I think the key is the cocoa powder--it will block the taste of beans me thinks.0

Yikes! Wait... it IS April Fools Day. That has to be it?0

I made the black bean brownies from skinnytaste.com and they were really good. My kids had no clue and couldn't get enough of them. For them, the key was dark chocolate chip morsals.0

I also believe that is exactly it.erincricket wrote: »I think the key is the cocoa powder--it will block the taste of beans me thinks.Yikes! Wait... it IS April Fools Day. That has to be it?
Nah, thread started earlier than yesterday.
Excellent. I also thought it would be a good way to up my protein, but a serving has so little protein that it doesn't really matter.njfitnessmom wrote: »I made the black bean brownies from skinnytaste.com and they were really good.

Maybe replace cocoa powder with chocolate protein powder? I'm really not a huge fan of cocoa powder, I find it tastes super bitter and can just make recipes taste gross unless used in small amounts or with lots of sweetener... or does sweetened cocoa powder exist? Ours here is unsweetened.0 -

I think it's more than that, but yeah IIRC the two main ingredients are cocoa powder and sugar. Probably some powdered milk-ish stuff too.

I like that it contains spice.0 -
I used unsweetened cocoa powder and added Stevia. It tasted pretty sweet.0

I made black bean brownies once and they were GREAT! Really rich. They disappeared fast.0

I saw a recipe for that as well, and I've thought of trying them. I really like trying unconventional recipes just to see what they turn out like.0 -
i've had vegan black bean brownies. they were absolutely delicious and i read the ingredients after tasting them and couldn't believe i saw "black beans" as the FIRST ingredient! don't knock it 'til you try it. tasted pretty much exactly like any other yummy chocolate brownie around.0

I'm definitely excited to try these!0
