Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed well

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add black beans, almond butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt to a food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Stir in the dark chocolate chips by hand for the best texture.
- Scoop the cookie dough into 7 cookies on your prepared baking tray. Flatten each one slightly (they won’t spread much). Add extra chocolate chips on the top of each cookie if desired.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until set on the edges. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
