Chickpea Cookies

Confession: I hate trying to work from a recipe just from the comments on Instagram. This was originally done by @diyaeatswell on Instagram.

More Chickpea Cookies

A vaguely healthier cookie. Double the previous recipe
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time13 minutes
Course: Cookies, Dessert
Servings: 12 small cookies

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Half-sheet sheet-pan

Ingredients

  • 140 grams chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 46 grams peanut butter
  • 30 grams oat flour
  • 18 grams coconut sugar
  • 28 grams maple syrup
  • teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Mix-Ins

  • 40 grams 70% dark chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 10 grams walnuts, roughly chopped (no…just no)
  • flaked sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉/175℃
  • Place ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Shouldn't be any chunks of chickpeas in there.
  • Scoop into a bowl and fold in your chocolate and (ick) nuts.
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop right onto parchment-lined baking sheet. (Note: I learned these don't spread, so flatten them.)
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes. Edges will get slightly golden. Will look soft but will set.
  • Sprinkle with flaked sea salt.
  • Let cool completely.

Notes

  • This is a small recipe.  It made 6 small cookies (see photos).  Double — at least — if you want to make a sheet of cookies.
  • I like nuts, not in cookies.  You do you.
  • I probably should’ve flattened these out more before baking — they don’t spread like a regular cookie.

And here’s the above recipe doubled….
