Black bean chocolate cookies

1 cup cooked black beans
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp nut butter
2 tbsp milk
1/2 cup coconut palm sugar
4 tbsp cacao powder
2 tbsp plain flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
50g chopped dark choc or dried cherries
1/2 tsp sea salt

Preheat oven to 180°C. Add the beans to a food processor together with oil, nut butter and milk. Blend until smooth. Sift together sugar, cacao powder, flour, cinnamon, baking powder (and salt unless sprinkling on top) and add to the bean mixture & combine. Stir through choc or cherries. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spoon 9 evenly distributed heaped Tbsp dollops of batter on it. Use a spoon or a finger to form the cookies into 7-10 cm wide rounds (& sprinkle with salt if not already added to batter). Bake for around 15 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
