Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup chickpeas canned, rinsed, drained and patted dry with a paper towel
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup peanut butter plus 2 tbsp
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips semisweet or bittersweet

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Combine all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, in a food processor and process until very smooth, scraping the sides and the top to get the little chunks of chickpeas and process again until they’re combined.
    1 ¼ cup chickpeas, 2 tsp vanilla extract, ½ cup peanut butter, ¼ cup honey, 1 tsp baking powder, ⅛ tsp salt
  • Remove mixture to a bowl, and add chocolate chips. Mix.
    ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • With wet hands, form into 1½” balls.
  • Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. If you prefer flatter cookies, press down slightly on the balls. They don’t do much rising or spreading.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden brown.

Cooking Tips

  • Smooth Texture: Ensure the chickpea mix is processed until very smooth to avoid any chunks that might affect the texture of the cookies.
  • Cookie Consistency: For those who prefer a crunchier texture, extend the baking time by a few minutes. Keep an eye on the cookies to prevent burning.
  • Wet Hands for Shaping: Keep your hands wet when forming the cookie balls to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
