Chickpea and Peanut Butter Cookies

Print

These are the easiest, healthiest, most tasty, unprocessed, vegan, gluten-free, protein cookies!

Further Food Commentary:

Garbanzo beans (chickpeas) are packed with soluble and insoluble fiber. This means that your gut will appreciate it! Insoluble fiber remains undigested all the way until it reaches the end of the digestive tract (colon). From there, it is partially digested by microflora fermentation and converted into short chain fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties and can help decrease the risk of colon cancer!

Ingredients

1 can garbanzo beans
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup + 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
¼ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips or carob chips

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C.
2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Combine all the ingredients in a food processor except for the chocolate chips, blend until smooth.
4. Add chocolate chips.
5. With wet hands, form into 1½” balls. Take a fork and gentle press down to make ridges and more round shape (wet fork in between so it doesn’t stick).

    Soooooo sloppy/mushy (yes,I drained the beans) that I had to add some flour. I added approx 3 level tablespoons (use GF if you need to). I am also wondering as to the accuracy of your nutritional info. There may be that much sodium in the entire batch (I added it all up). Unless you really add a ton of salt. I found it didn’t really need any added salt. All that said they tasted ok.

    Tried this earlier with some modifications (used erythritol instead of honey) and it’s so good! Will make more of these cookies this weekend 😊 Thank you for sharing this!

    Trying to salvage my batch as I didn’t drain the beans! Whomp! Can you add that to the recipe? Hopefully my plan of baking in a square dish as more of a cookie cake will work out.

    I love this recipe – so easy and so tasty without being too sweet! I am obsessed with tahini so I subbed it for peanut butter and added pistachios instead of chocolate chips as I’m sensitive to chocolate. Extra nutty and yummy! Thanks for the inspiration.

    What can I use as a substitute for maple syrup? I can use palm sugar? We get the dry chickpeas which is usually soaked overnight and pressure cooked the next day. Will that work in this recipe? If so, what is the quantity of chick peas. Thanks

      Hi Prasanna!
      I’m so glad you are trying these cookies! You can substitute the maple syrup for coconut nectar or honey! Also, one can of chickpeas is about 1 1/2 cup of cooked beans!
      Enjoy!
