TOPPING
100g chocolate, chopped
Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking tray with paper.
Mix the beans, coconut oil, cake flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cocoa powder, muscovado sugar, maple syrup and vanilla essence in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Roll the mixture into 6 to 8 balls and arrange on the baking tray. Bake the cookies for 3 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Top each cookie with a generous sprinkle of the chocolate, pushing the bits into the cookie and squishing down slightly. Sprinkle with a little muscovado sugar.
Bake for a further 15 to 20 minutes. The biscuits will still be slightly soft to the touch and will harden as they cool.
Leave to cool completely.
The biscuits are best eaten on the day they are baked. They are great folded through ice cream. Makes 6-8
