Fluffy and moist chocolate chip cookies packed with two types of nut butter and a surprise ingredient... chickpeas!
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • ¼ cashew butter
  • ¼ natural peanut butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1½ oat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax seed mixed with 6 tbsp water)
  • Pinch of himalayan sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or ½ the insides of a vanilla bean
  • ¼ cup 70% dark chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350ยบ. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coconut/olive oil spray.
  2. Start by processing your chickpeas, peanut and cashew butters, and maple syrup together in a high-speed blender or food processor.
  3. Next, add in your oat flour. (You can simply just grind oats in a blender for this)
  4. Move the mixture into a mixing bowl and add in baking soda, almond milk, flax eggs, salt and vanilla. You want the mixture cookie dough consistency so if it is too wet from the almond milk and flax eggs, add ¼ more oat flour.*
  5. Lastly, blend in your chocolate chips. Feel free to use a heaping ¼ cup!
  6. Spoon out with a large tablespoon, two spoonfuls worth of dough onto your baking sheet. Place in your oven for 20-25 minutes until risen and a bit browned.
  7. Enjoy :)
