Black Bean Chocolate Coconut Cookies Food

COCONUT LIME BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Soak the beans overnight in cold water to cover.
• Drain the beans and transfer them to a large saucepan. Cover with 3 cups cold water, the coconut water and 2 teaspoons salt, set over medium heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then turn the heat down to low, cover and cook until tender; depending upon the age of the beans, this will take between 30 and 45 minutes (older beans take longer).
• When tender, add the coconut oil and lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Pour into a serving dish and garnish with the green onions.

PEANUT BUTTER STUFFED BLACK BEAN COOKIES

• In a small bowl, combine cacao powder, oat flour, coconut flour, salt and baking soda.
• Add dry ingredients to the the bowl with the wet ingredients.
• Stir until combined then gently fold in chocolate chips.
• Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
• Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop batter onto a small sheet of parchment paper. Gently make an indent in the center of the dough.
• Dollop about 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter into the indent.
• Place another cookie scoop worth of batter on top and crimp the edges using your hands and fingers so that you form a ball of dough with no peanut butter exposed. Place on a baking sheet and gently flatten slightly by pressing down on the top of the cookie.
• Push a few additional chocolate chips if desired onto the top of the cookie and repeat with remaining dough.
• Bake for about 15 minutes until cookies are set around the edges.
• Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

WHITE BEAN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, put the beans in a food processor; add the maple syrup and puree until very smooth.
• Add the bean mixture to the creamed butter in the bowl of the stand mixer and beat on medium speed until completely smooth, stopping and scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula several times, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between additions; add the vanilla and mix until combined. Scrape down the bowl. Don¿t worry if the mixture looks curdled; it will smooth out when you add the dry ingredients.
• Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking soda and salt together into a bowl. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the chocolate chips. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared pans, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies begin to turn golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes; do not overbake. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool for at least 10 minutes on the pan before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
• Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

BLACK BEAN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Black Bean Brownies Recipe: Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients except chips in a good food processor, and blend until completely smooth. Really blend well. (A blender can work if you absolutely must, but the texture-and even the taste-will be much better in a food processor. I use this food processor.) Stir in the chips, then pour into a greased 8x8 pan. Optional: sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top. Cook the black bean brownies 15-18 minutes, then let cool at least 10 minutes before trying to cut. If they still look a bit undercooked, you can place them in the fridge overnight and they will magically firm up! Makes 9-12 brownies. If you make this recipe, don't forget to leave a review! The trick with these: serve them first, and then reveal the secret ingredient. In all the times I've served bean desserts, not one single person who didn't know beforehand has ever guessed!View Black Bean Brownies Nutrition Facts

BLACK BEAN CHOCOLATE COOKIES -- LOW CARB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Lined two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a food processor add all the ingredients except chocolate chips. Blend until smooth. The batter should be similar to a thick mousse. Add chocolate chips and incorporate into the batter (don't use the food processor for this though unless you want the chips chopped up).
• Using a spoon or cookie scoop place 16 dollops of batter on the cookie sheets. Use a spoon to flatten the cookies into round shapes like in the pictures.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes (they should still be a little soft when you remove them from the oven). Set a side a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

VEGAN COCONUT-GINGER BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Rinse 1 can of black beans, and set aside. In a large saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium. Add the cumin and half of the ginger and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rinsed black beans and the remaining whole can of black beans (including the liquid), and the coconut milk; season generously with salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are soft and the mixture is flavorful, 15 to 20 minutes. (If you want a thicker consistency, smash some of beans with the back of a spoon as the mixture cooks, and simmer longer.)
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, crumble the plantain chips into bite-size pieces. Add the lime zest and a few generous grinds of black pepper, and stir to combine.
• Remove the beans from the heat. Stir in the remaining ginger and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the lime juice a little at a time until the beans taste bright but the coconut flavor is still rich. Top with the seasoned plantain chips and serve with hot sauce for more kick.

FLOURLESS BLACK BEAN BROWNIES RECIPE | NATURALLY GLUTEN FREE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the paper with cooking oil spray, and set the pan aside.
• In a blender or food processor, place the drained and rinsed beans, eggs, oil, vanilla and coffee, and blend or process until smooth.
• In a large bowl, place the cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and brown sugar, and whisk to combine well, breaking up any lumps in the brown sugar.
• Create a well in the center of the cocoa powder mixture and add the pureed bean mixture. Mix until well-combined.
• Add about half of the (optional) chocolate chips to the batter and mix to combine. The mixture will be thickly pourable.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining (optional) chocolate chips even on top of the batter, and press down gently to help the chips adhere.
• Place the baking pan in the center of the preheated oven. Bake until the top springs back when pressed gently with a finger (about 25 minutes).
• Continue to bake your brownies until the top is set, and it springs back when pressed gently in the center with your forefinger. And when you shake the pan gently from side to side, it doesn't jiggle at all.
• For cakier brownies, lower the oven temperature to 300°F and continue to bake for another 3 to 5 minutes or until the center is really stable.
• Remove the pan from the oven, place it on a wire rack (still in the pan) and allow to cool until no longer hot to the touch.
• Remove from the pan and slice into squares with a sharp knife. For cleaner slicing, place the bars still in the cooled pan in the freezer for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing.
