Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained or approx. 1 ⅔ cup cooked chickpeas
- ⅓ cup smooth almond butter, unsalted or other nut/seed butter
- ¼ cup Cacao or cocoa powder
- ¼ cup coconut sugar or other granulated sweetener
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup oat flour or GF 1:1 blend
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ⅓ cup dairy-free mini chocolate chips or your favorite refined sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and line one large or two small baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- After rinsing the chickpeas, thoroughly pat dry with a tea towel. Transfer to a large food processor. Add the almond butter, and process to combine.
- Add the cacao, sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Process until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and process again. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a small cookie scoop (1.5 Tbsp) or measuring spoon, scoop up the cookie dough and place on prepared pan(s). Leave in a ball shape. Bake for 7 minutes. Remove from oven, and use the underside of a fork to create a criss-cross pattern on top, gently flattening the cookies into shape. Bake for another 3 to 5 minutes or until golden on the bottoms.
- The cookies will be very soft straight from the oven. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Variations
- nuts - for added crunch, fold in chopped pecans, walnuts, or peanuts when adding the chocolate chips.
- coconut - add shredded coconut to the batter and press a pinch into the tops of the cookies.
- cinnamon - if you enjoy cinnamon with chocolate, add half a teaspoon to the food processor, then taste and adjust.
