Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups chickpeas cooked or canned
  • 2 medium ripe bananas (weighing 230 grams with peels on)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup peanut butter homemade or store bought (or sub soy butter for nut free)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup rolled oats gluten free if preferred
  • 3 large handfuls baby spinach
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
Optional
  • chocolate chips OR candy eyes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉/176℃ and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Add everything EXCEPT the optional ingredients to your food processor and process until smooth.
  3. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop the batter onto your baking sheets. You'll get about 26 cookies. Then with slightly wet hands or the back of a spoon press the cookies down and shape them into circles. The batter won't spread much, so shape them before baking.
  4. OPTIONAL: If using chocolate chips for eyes, add those to your cookies now. If using candy eyes, add them AFTER baking.
  5. Bake for 16-18 minutes, then remove the cookies from the oven and gently press the candy eyes (if using) into your cookies while they are still warm. To make mouths, use a toothpick or the end of a spoon or fork to glide different mouth shapes into each of your spooky cookies. Then let them cool.

Notes

  • Use VERY ripe bananas that are spotted brown, since there's not much added sweetness.
  • If using the candy eyes, press them into your cookies, immediately after removing them from the oven, while they are still warm.
  • Create fun mouth shapes in your green cookies while they are still warm. Use a toothpick or the tip/end of a spoon or fork.
