Recipe type: Cookies
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups canned chickpeas, well-rinsed and patted dry with a paper towel
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup natural peanut butter, room temperature
- ¼ cup honey (can substitute with agave, maple syrup or 30 stevia drops)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt, if your peanut butter doesn't have it.
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Process the chickpeas. Add baking powder, vanilla and half of the peanut butter and continue to process. Stir in remaining peanut butter and honey.
- Stir in the chocolate chips. Mixture will be thick and sticky
- With wet hands, form into little balls. Place onto parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. The balls will still be very soft when you take them out of the oven. They will not set like normal cookies
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Prep
These cookies need to be served warm! They are oh so gooey and that's what makes them such a treat! Pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds to re-heat. They can also be frozen and baked as you need them.
**This recipe includes me upping the peanut butter to the recipe for a larger peanut butter presence! If you're not a huge lover like me, the original recipe calls for ½ cup + 2 tbsp.
