Vegan Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The Vegan Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies use chickpeas as the base ingredient, pureed with coconut oil and vanilla to form a smooth batter. Oat flour adds structure, while coconut sugar sweetens naturally. The dough includes baking soda and apple cider vinegar for leavening, yielding a lightly risen texture.
Chocolate chips are folded in to provide pleasant bursts of melted chocolate in each bite. The cookies bake at 350°F on parchment paper, resulting in slightly crisp edges and cracked tops with moist interiors that hold their shape without spreading extensively.
These cookies offer an alternative to traditional recipes by utilizing chickpeas and gluten-free oat flour, appealing to vegan diets or those seeking plant-based treats. They make for a soft, flavorful dessert or snack with a gentle sweetness and chocolate touch.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chickpeas or 1 (15 oz.) can, drained and rinsed, cooked
- 1/2 cup oat flour gluten-free
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar raw
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Process the chickpeas, coconut oil and vanilla in a large processor until relatively smooth. Add in the coconut sugar, flour, salt, baking soda and vinegar and blend until until a smooth batter is formed.
- Add in the chocolate chips and pulse briefly until incorporated. Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto a lined baking sheet and use wet fingers to gently flatten each mound (they won’t spread a lot on their own.) Bake until the tops begin to crack and the edges are dry to the touch, about 18 to 20 minutes. Cool completely before serving.
