Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 cookie scoop
  • 1 baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup creamy, unsalted, sugar-free peanut butter
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350-degrees F

  • Blend chickpeas in a food processor until smooth.
  • Add peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Blend until thoroughly combined.
  • Transfer the chickpea cookie dough to a bowl and fold in chocolate chips. 
  • Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop, add eight two tablespoon-sized portions of the chickpea cookie dough onto the cookie sheet. Shape with wet hands if necessary. You should get eight cookies per sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes and allow to cool for 20 minutes before transferring onto cooling racks. Cool on wire rack.

Notes

  • I had a hard time getting the chickpeas to blend without any liquid added to the food processor. I added the maple syrup to the chickpeas and blended them together first, before blending in the other ingredients.
  • Although the original recipe suggests shaping the cookies with wet hands, I did not find that necessary since the dough had the perfect texture.
  • The original recipe called for a baking time of 15-18 minutes, but the cookies were ready in 13.5 minutes. You might need to adjust the time for high-altitude baking by baking for a shorter time.
  • I substituted mixed nut butter in the place of the peanut butter. I loved the extra crunch that the seeds provided.
