Servings 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 can Chickpeas drained and rinsed very well
- ¼ cup Peanut Butter (or other nut butter)
- ¼ cup Chocolate Chips
- 2 tbsp Oats*
- 2 tbsp Sweetener of Choice (such as maple or date syrup, dates, or honey)
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Milk*
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, into the bottom of a food processor.
- Mix until well combined, stopping and scraping down the sides and bottom as needed.
- Once the mixture has reached your desired consistency, stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- TO BAKE DOUGH INTO COOKIES: Add 1/2 tsp of baking powder to the batter and form into even balls (1-2 tbsp each). Spread them out onto a parchment lined baking sheet with enough room in between to breathe. Press them down a bit with a fork as they won't expand too much in the oven. Bake in a 325°F oven for 10-12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before digging in.
Notes
Use flour instead of oats, if preferred.
Only add the milk if your dough is too thick or you want to use it as a dip. Use it to thin it out and reach your desired consistency.
