Ingredients
- ¾ cup oats old fashioned or quick – not instant
- 1 cup all purpose flour 130 grams
- ⅜ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅜ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅜ teaspoon salt use a bit less if desired
- 6 tablespoons drained white beans mashed or pureed with 1 T. liquid (140 grams)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil OR use 1 ½ T. butter and ½ T. oil
- ⅓ cup firmly packed light brown sugar 65 grams
- 2 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar 30 grams
- 1 tablespoon molasses 20 grams
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces dark chocolate cut into chunks
- walnuts, dried cherries, banana chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or spray lightly with cooking spray.
- In blender or food processor, process oats until finely ground. Combine ground oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- This recipe requires mashed beans, so you might as well use the same blender or food processor to mash the beans. I used approximately 140 grams of Great Northern beans & some of their liquid.
- Combine mashed beans, oil, both sugars, molasses, egg, and vanilla in a separate bowl and beat well. Stir in oat/flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chunks. To make the cookies even better, stir in some nuts, dried fruit or maybe even banana chips!
- Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets. Bake 12 minutes until centers are firm and edges are lightly browned. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
