Chickpea Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
These cookies are so good, packed with a punch of protein and super easy to make. The best part is there’s NO sugar, flour or eggs, so your feel’n fresh well your eating them. No one ever knows I have Chickpeas in my Peanut Butter Chocolate cookies. I kept this secret until now, it’s a great way to sneak them into everybody’s diet around me, especially the kids.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix everything but the chocolate in a food processor, chopper…or your hands..haha, whatever you have to do. I’ve tried all ways and they turn out great no matter what, fool proof really but I prefer the smoothest way with a processor, they look nicer too.
- Mix in your chocolate by hand and roll the dough into even balls or press with a fork.
- parchment lined baking sheet for 10-13 minutes keep an eye on them, each oven is different.
