Gluten-Free Black Bean Monster Cookie

Here me out as I tell you more about this amazing recipe! You should know that I made this giant cookie for dessert tonight after dinner and it was gone within minutes of coming out of the air-fryer. I don’t think my kids even knew there were black beans in this cookie! They only knew that they loved it and couldn’t wait for me to make it again.
I love that they loved it because it is packed with nutrients they need to grow and stay satisfied.
The cookie comes together quickly in the air fryer, perfect to satisfy that sweet tooth after dinner. I noticed I needed to wet my hands a bit to shape it after putting it on the parchment paper to give it that cookie shape.

This recipe can be 100% gluten-free depending on the kind of rolled oats that you use.
