Who says cookies have to be full of sugar and unhealthy? These chickpea cookies prove otherwise! Not only are they a delicious alternative to traditional cookies, but they’re also a great source of protein.
With chickpeas, creamy peanut butter, and sweet chocolate chips, this recipe delivers an irresistible combination that’s perfect for sweet lovers and health-conscious snackers alike. Whether as a quick treat or a highlight for your coffee break, these cookies have you covered!
Ingredients
- 1 can (400 g) chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
- 200 gram peanut butter
- 50 milliliter maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 50 gram chocolate chips (vegan)
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the chickpeas thoroughly to remove excess starch. This step ensures the cookies have a better texture.
- Add the chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup, and baking powder to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until a smooth dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl and gently fold in the chocolate chips to create the perfect balance of peanut butter and chocolatey sweetness.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop small portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will firm up as they cool.
