Ingredients
- 1 cup black beans cooked until soft
- 2 tbsp chopped onions
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp oat flour
- Optional: olive oil
Directions
- Blend or process your cooked black beans until they look like a puree (if you want, leave some whole beans for texture!) Mix the chopped onions, dried parsley, salt and oat flour until it’s well combined.
- Portion the dough into 7-8 balls. With your hands, shape them to make them even. Place it on a baking sheet. Drizzle a bit of olive oil on top. Bake it in a 200 celsius (~400 Fahrenheit) oven for about 10-15 minutes.
- You can also freeze it (raw or baked).
