Secret Ingredient Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies (Kid-Approved)

By

Happy Cookie Friday, friends! I have quite the awesome cookie recipe for you. Listen to this: Secret Ingredient Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies? Oooooh, yes, and they’re delicious.

These cookies are chocolatey, rich, not overly sweet, and a tad undercooked, like a fudge-y brownie… AND our picky eater loved them! Little did Quinn know, there were kidney beans inside! Mwhahaha!

I know some parents aren’t fans of “hiding” healthy foods inside more kid-friendly ones, but we’re ALL about it. #realife Quinn’s diet is far from perfect, so getting extra nutrients into it anyway possible is a win for us! These cookies are also gluten- and egg-free for anyone with food sensitivities.

Even though these are “healthy” cookies, they don’t taste that way at all. Mal actually brought a batch into school for his co-workers to try, and they were a hit – noting that they especially loved the fudge-y undercookedness (obviously, that’s a word), almost like brownies! Of course, you can bake these cookies a bit longer for a firmer cookie, but I highly suggest the undercooked method! 🙂

Secret Ingredient Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies (Kid-Approved)

  • Author: Tina
  • Prep Time: 5 Minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 Minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 18

Ingredients

1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup honey

2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

2/3 cup dark chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla extract

pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a food processor, add kidney beans, peanut butter, honey, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Process until smooth. Scrape down the sides with a spatula and process again until a thick dough-like consistency forms and no more bean pieces remain.

Stir in dark chocolate chips. Use a spoon to portion batter into 1 1/2-inch disks on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. They might seem a little undercooked, but give me a little time to firm up before serving.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
