Healthy Chickpea Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

Healthy Chickpea Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

1 can chickpeas (200g drained)

125g / 1/2 cup homemade peanut butter

2 tsp vanilla extract

60ml / 4 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp baking powder

Pinch of salt (if using salted PB, omit salt)

90g / 1/2 cup chocolate chips 

1) Preheat oven to 180C / 350F.

2) Add all the ingredients except for chocolate chips in a food processor. Blend until smooth.

3) Transfer to a bowl and mix in chocolate chips.

4) Form small balls and flatten slightly. They will not spread a lot. The dough will be very sticky. Wet your hands so it doesn't stick that much.

5) Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely before transferring to a plate. 

Makes 1 dozen.
