Believe me when I say that I totally had to google the word “fudgy” for spelling prior to the difficult task that was naming this recipe.
Absolutely nothing about black beans and zucchini stuffed in a cookie (that may or not be fudgy) sounds appetizing. I know this. But these cookies are like chocolatey pillows of glory. They’re like a perfectly wrapped present for your face. These are the kind of healthy treat that no one would ever know was actually good for you. Would I lie to you?
Whether you’re flirting with the idea of making an omellete, a salad, or a cookie, black beans will make you proud every damn time. Let’s talk a bit more about the nutrition powerhouse that this humble frijole is for a moment. Black beans are loaded not only with iron, but also filling fiber and plant-powered protein that helps reduce cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular disease. As easy as they are on your waistline, they’re even easier on your wallet. Heyo! You can get a whole bag of dried beans for like a dollar. Yes. Black beans are pretty much free.
So I threw them in the ol’ food processor with less refined coconut sugar and cacao and chocolate chippies and zucchini (because hi, summer) and HOLY HELL they’re foodgasm city. Since the name of the recipe does anything but tempt you to make them, you’re just gonna have to trust me when I say you need them in your life like three days ago. So how badly do you want to eat three pounds of black beans right now? You have my permission.
