BrownySandwich the Batwom

Here's a delicious way to eat your beans! A black bean brownie cookie with a date-sweetened creamy filling.

Servings - 6

Cookies

🍫½ cup dates, pitted
🍫1½ cup cooked black beans (or 1-15 oz BPA-free, salt-free can- drained & rinsed)
🍫½ cup oats
🍫2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
🍫¼ cup raw nut or seed butter
🍫2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Filling

🥪2 tablespoons date syrup
🥪2 tablespoons raw nut or seed butter
🥪unsweetened soy milk or water, if needed
🥪unsweetened cocoa powder, if needed


🍪1. Preheat oven to 395F.

🍪2. Fill a 1 cup measuring cup halfway with dates and add just enough boiling water to cover. Let dates soak for about 10 minutes, while preparing the rest of the ingredients.

🍪3. Place black beans, oats, cocoa powder, peanut butter, and vanilla in a food processor. Add the dates along with the soaking water and process until smooth, and there aren't big chunks of dates.

🍪4. Using a spoon, divide the batter into 12-24 cookies on a baking sheet lined with a silicon mat or baking paper.

🍪5. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let them cool on a cooling rack.

🍪6. For the filling, combine equal parts nut butter and date syrup - about 2 tablespoons of each. The consistency of nut butter can vary, so if the filling is too thick, add a tiny dash of soymilk and if it's too runny add a little bit of cocoa powder.

🍪7. Sandwich the cookies together using the filling and enjoy!
