Flourless Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you love chocolate and want to stay away from inflammatory flour, this recipe is for you!
Lately I have been using chickpeas and beans to make cookies and they turn out great.
This recipe uses black beans.
Black beans are one of those simple foods that punch way above their weight nutritionally.
They’re especially high in:
• Fiber – huge for gut health, blood sugar balance, and keeping you full
• Plant-based protein – great for supporting muscle and steady energy
• Magnesium – helps with sleep, relaxation, and nervous system support
• Iron – important for energy and oxygen transport
• Folate (vitamin B9) – key for cell repair and hormone balance
• Potassium – supports blood pressure and hydration balance
They’re also rich in antioxidants, which help protect your cells from damage.
From a functional perspective, black beans are great for stabilizing blood sugar because of that fiber + protein combo—but some people with sensitive digestion may need to introduce them slowly (or prepare them properly by soaking/cooking well). I like to use Eden brand black beans as they offer organic and they are lower in histamine.
