Chocolate Chip Chickpea Cookies
Gluten-free, moist and chewy, these vegan chocolate chip cookies are good for you, too.
Servings: 12 cookies
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (15-oz.) can no salt added chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup almond butter or peanut butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (substitution: applesauce)
- 1/3 cup oat flour you can make this with old fashioned oats in a blender
- 1 tsp vanilla extract non-alcoholic preferred
- 1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon*
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat over to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Add chickpeas, almond butter, maple syrup, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder and salt to the bowl of a food processor.
- Process until mixture is completely smooth, scraping down the sides to incorporate all.
- Remove to a bowl and stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Place a scant 1/4 cup of the batter for each cookie onto a Silpat or parchment paper and spread them out slightly with the back of your spoon. You should be able to get 12 cookies.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the sides turn a bit brown. I like those crunchy bits and the interior of the cookie with be chewy.
- * To cut the maple syrup in half substitute 1/2 tsp. liquid Stevia for 1/4/ cup of the maple syrup. See the chart above for more conversions.
Notes
*I recommend using Ceylon cinnamon, which has a sweeter, more delicate flavor, because the most common cinnamon, cassia, contains coumarin, a naturally occurring compound that may be toxic to the liver at doses of 1 teaspoon per day for adults and 1/4 teaspoon for children a few times a week. See reference from nutritionfacts.org.
