Flourless Chickpea Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
Description
This recipe combines drained chickpeas and smooth peanut butter as the base for cookies without flour. Using a food processor, the chickpeas are pureed with a sweetener like agave, maple syrup, or honey into a smooth paste. Once mixed with coconut sugar, vanilla, baking soda, dark chocolate chips, and roasted peanuts, the batter is sticky but workable by tablespoon scoops. Baking at 350°F for 12 to 14 minutes creates cookies with a tender, chewy consistency balanced by chocolate and nuts.
The cookies provide a peanut forward flavor complemented by the slight earthiness of chickpeas and the crunch of peanuts. They are a good option for individuals seeking flourless baked treats with familiar sweet and nutty notes.
Ingredients
- 14 ounce chickpeas drained and rinsed - or 1 ¾ cups of cooked chickpeas, canned
- 1 cup peanut butter smooth, all-natural
- ½ cup agave syrup or maple syrup or honey
- coconut sugar depending on how sweet you like your cookies. Can substitute brown sugar, optional, ¼ cup
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup peanuts chopped; roasted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Add the drained chickpeas and agave, honey, or maple syrup to a food processor or high-powered blender (don't use a regular blender) and blend until smooth. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl.
- Add all remaining ingredients and mix until thoroughly blended. The batter will be sticky, don't worry.
- Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and set them aside to cool for 10 minutes.
