- 250g cannellini beans, drained and patted dry (measure after removing excess moisture - approximately 1 x 400g can but you may need a little more from a second can)
- 120g tahini (not the super runny kind)
- 80g maple syrup
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract (avoid imitation extract - it's full of nasties)
- 15ml lemon juice
- 5 large scoops of Collagen
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 1/8 tsp of Celtic sea salt
- 130g dark chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate

Method
- Begin by pre-heating your oven to 175°C
- Thoroughly drain the cannellini beans and pat them completely dry using paper towels, removing as much moisture as possible. Weigh out exactly 250g once dried.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the collagen powder, baking powder, and salt to prevent clumping.
- Add the dried beans, tahini, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to a food processor and whizz until smooth. Add the collagen powder mixture and whizz again until the mixture becomes perfectly smooth, stopping to scrape the bowl sides when necessary.
- Pour the smooth mixture into a mixing bowl and gently fold through the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Place the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour - this chilling step helps maintain the cookies' shape during baking and allows the collagen to hydrate properly.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, portion the chilled dough onto a lined baking tray, leaving space between each portion. This recipe typically yields about 10 cookies. Note: parchment paper will result in less spreading compared to silicone baking mats.
- Press additional chocolate chips onto the tops if desired.
- Bake for 17-19 minutes until you notice light golden patches appearing on the surface.
- The cookies will emerge from the oven quite soft and require extended cooling time to properly set. Allow them to rest on the baking tray for 10-15 minutes, then carefully move to a cooling rack.
