Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chickpea Cookies

Even though I try very hard to eat healthy and feed my family healthy foods, sometimes, I just have a sweet tooth. I don’t want to feel like I am depriving myself, so having a treat now and then is good…

But what if I could have a treat that is relatively healthy too? That’s a win-win!

A friend had shared a recipe for chocolate chip cookies made with chickpeas (I would have probably never thought to do that!), but I tried it and liked it, so I decided to put my own little twist on it:

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chickpea Cookies

Servings: 2 doz
Print

1 can chickpeas, rinsed and patted dry
1 Tbsp vanilla
½ cup natural cream peanut butter (or any nut butter you like)
2 Tbsp. raw honey, melted
2 Tbsp. agave necter
1 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. gluten free all-purpose baking mix
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients in food processor, except for chocolate chips. Blend until smooth. At this point, stir in chocolate chips. Now, you can either roll into 1 inch balls and place on parchment lined cookie sheet, slightly flatten; or you can simply spoon-drop them on and bake for 12 minutes at 350 degrees.

Easy, right?

And so good, you won’t even know that they’re healthy too!
