Black Bean Cookies? You read it right! These soft, chocolate-y cookies are made with black beans. Cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips help give this cookie the sweet chocolate flavor, disguising the beans.

Place the black beans, coconut oil, agave syrup, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, salt, and lemon juice into a food processor. Blend until it forms a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into a medium bowl and add the almond meal. Stir to combine.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, reserving about ¼ of the amount for decorating the top of the cookies.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop up the batter in small balls, and place on the baking sheet, leaving enough space for them to expand.
Add the reserved chocolate chips to the top of the cookies.
Bake for 15 minutes.
When they’re done, the cookies will still be soft. If unsure, try gently moving one with a spatula, and if it feels like it’s holding its shape, they’re likely done.
Let the cookies cool, and store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 7 days. (They can be a bit crumbly if kept at room temperature.)
