Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the cookies.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a food processor, combine the rinsed chickpeas, peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. Add chocolate chips: Stir the chocolate chips into the chickpea dough mixture by hand to distribute evenly.
  4. Portion the dough: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, spacing them evenly to allow for baking expansion.
  5. Bake the cookies: Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your healthy, flourless cookies!

Notes

  • You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a different flavor and slightly lower glycemic index.
  • Ensure chickpeas are well rinsed to avoid any canned taste in the cookies.
  • Use natural peanut butter for a healthier option without added sugars or oils.
  • Cookies will be soft right out of the oven; allow them to cool properly to firm up.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
