These Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies Pack a Fiber Boost
The secret ingredient of these delicious cookies is white beans, but you’d never know it. Sweetened with Swerve and a dash of honey – or maple syrup to make them vegan – each cookie has just 100 calories, minimal sugar and the added bonus of 4 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein. Plus, they’re gluten free, low carb and oh-so-easy to make.

- 1.33 ounce 70-85% dark chocolate (about 1/2 dark chocolate bar, in pieces + chunks)
