Chocolate Chip Chickpea Cookies
filled with fiber and protein!
These chickpea chocolate chip cookies are soft and fluffy with the perfect amount of sweetness. But the coolest part… they are made with chickpeas (or garbanzo beans) for added fiber!
Here’s why I like this recipe…
Made with pantry staples, like oats and nut butter!
No eggs or butter needed, making it totally vegan!
I used oats as the flour, which is affordable and filled with fiber! To make oat flour, just blend oats in a food processor until it’s fine in its consistency! It’s so much more affordable than buying packaged oat flour from the store!
Less than 10 ingredients, so it’s easy to make & perfect for even the most novice baker.
Quick clean up, I just add everything into a food processor & blend until the batter comes together. Then I throw the food processor in the dish washer & enjoy the cookies lol.
Easy to customize! If you want to add chocolate chips, pecans, white chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, cranberries… you can!
How to make chickpea cookies…
The trick to making the perfect texture is to blend the chickpeas in a food processor really well before adding the rest of the ingredients.
Think hummus…. the longer you blend, the more smooth and creamy your hummus right?
Once you add all of the ingredients to the food processor, it’ll blend super well together. I like to wait to add the chocolate chips at the end so they stay intact!
Substitutions…
As always, all substitutions are listed in the grocery list section below. But here’s a sneak peak!
These call for a nut or seed butter. You can use almond butter, peanut butter, sunflower seed butter, or even granola butter!
Use any add ins, as I mentioned above, you can make these white chocolate macadamia flavored or cranberry pecan flavored!
For the liquid sweetener, you have options! Maple syrup, agave or honey all work!
No one will guess there are chickpeas in these cookies!! Try it out and comment below if you do!
