Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
  • 2/3 cup peanut butter stirred, creamy
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt sea salt
  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add all of the ingredients except the chocolate chips to a food processor and process until well-combined and a thick dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Form round discs out of the dough (it won’t spread on its own so you will need to shape it into cookie shapes) and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven 8 to 12 minutes, depending on how soft or crispy you like your cookies.
  5. Allow cookies to cool at least 10 minutes before diving in!

Notes

  • Almond or other nut butters can replace peanut butter, but choose one with a preferred flavor since it influences the cookies.
  • Both natural and processed peanut butters work, though texture and stickiness may vary.
  • White or black beans can substitute chickpeas if needed.
  • To lower sugar, try sugar-free chocolate chips and pure maple syrup alternatives.
