Ingredients
Scale
1 (15 oz) can great northern beans (drained and rinsed)
3/4 cup cooked mashed sweet potato
2 eggs
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup oil (i use avocado oil)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
2/3 cup white whole wheat flour
1/4 cup hemp seeds (optional)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a food processor, combine beans, sweet potato, eggs, maple syrup, oil and vanilla. Process until smooth.
- Add cinnamon, baking soda, flour and hemp hearts and process until combined.
- Add chocolate chips and pulse a few times.
- Spoon into a 9×9 pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 20-22 minutes.
- Let cool, cut and serve. Store in the fridge.
Notes
- You could try cannellini beans or chickpeas but i think they have a stronger flavor than great northern beans.
- To cook the sweet potato I just stab several times with a knife, microwave 5-6 minutes and then cut open to let cool before mashing into the measuring cup.
- You could sub chia seeds or some ground flax for the hemp hearts.
- I haven’t tried any substitutions for the flour. You could try oat flour to make them gluten-free.
