If the bean idea in the last post didn't make you turn away, I thought I'd post a couple of the treat recipes I use them in. Carlee and I have an ongoing discussion about the irony of 'healthy desserts', so my disclaimer is this: if you love a good Otis Spunkmeyer or can't imagine life without the Toll House recipe, stick with those and enjoy them for the delicious flavor they bring. If you love snacking and wouldn't mind having a slightly-better-for-you option, read below.
*1/2 c. beans, cooked, rinsed and drained
*1/2 c. + 2 TBSP. room temperature butter (or butter shortening)
*1/2 c. sugar
*1 c. brown sugar
*2 large eggs
*2 tsp. vanilla
*1 tsp. baking soda
*1 tsp. salt
*3 c. flour (I use 2 c. wheat + 1 c. white, but mix and match as you please)
*2 1/2 c. chocolate chips
Cream together beans, butter, and sugars. Blend in eggs and add vanilla. Stir in baking soda, salt and flour; mix well to combine. Add chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoon onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375 for 11-13 minutes.
