How to Make Breakfast Bean Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Place 1 ½ cups rolled oats in a food processor and pulse until it resembles coarse flour.
  3. Add 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt to the food processor. Pulse until combined.
  4. Transfer the oat mixture to a large bowl.
  5. In the food processor, combine 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (rinsed and drained), ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened), and pulse until roughly pureed.
  6. Add ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the food processor. Pulse until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  7. Pour the bean mixture into the oat mixture and stir gently by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Stir in ½ cup chocolate chips, ¼ cup raisins, ¼ cup chopped nuts (optional), and 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal until evenly distributed.
  9. Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  10. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with your hand.
  11. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
