Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Canned white beans (e.g., cannellini or great northern)
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter)
- 0.25 cup Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain and rinse the canned white beans thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt, then pat them dry with paper towels.
Add the white beans, rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to a food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, pausing as needed to scrape down the sides.
If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips by hand with a spatula until evenly distributed.
With a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon, as they will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
