Recipe Created By: Zoe Lau

Ingredients

3 bananas, sliced and frozen
2 tbsp almond milk
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1 10oz can black beans, drained
2 tbsp flax meal/chia seeds
1/3 cup maple Syrup
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp coconut oil
1/3 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips

Directions

For the Cookies:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a bowl, mix together flax meal, maple syrup and vanilla. Set aside.

Add the remaining ingredients (except for dark chocolate chips) into the blender. Blend till smooth.

Mix in your chocolate chips with a spatula.

On parchment paper lined tray (this will it make it easier than simply greasing the tray), equally divide the batter into 10 cookies. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the top and flatten the cookie (so you get that crispy cookie). Add a couple more chocolate chips for the top.

Bake for 12-15 minutes in the oven. Allow it to cool completely (20 minutes).

Place in fridge or freezer till ready to serve (this will help firm up the cookie so its easier to handle).

For the “Nice Cream”:

In a blender, blend bananas, maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla together till you get a nice smooth consistency. Serve immediately with cookies – and make your ice cream sandwiches! Or you can assemble them, wrap each individual cookie sandwich in cling film and freeze!

Notes

TIPS for the perfect “NICE CREAM”:

Only use bananas that are just ripe but not brown.

Peel the banana and slice. Place in a ziplock bag and freeze for at least a couple hours before using.

Substitutions

Coconut: Although classified by the FDA as a tree nut, coconut is not a common allergen and is not related to tree nuts. If you have a tree nut allergy [1], consult your physician to find out if you need to avoid coconut.
Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in specific grains (wheat, spelt, kamut, barley, rye). Other grains are naturally gluten-free but may have cross-contact with gluten-containing grains. Look for certified gluten-free products if you need to avoid gluten. Find out more about wheat and gluten substitutions [2].
Milk and Soy Substitutions: Alternative dairy-free milk beverages and products will work in most recipes. Find out more about milk substitutions [3] and soy substitutions [4].
