These cookies are sneakily high in fiber and protein thanks to their secret ingredient: chickpeas (you don't taste them, I promise!) These are so simple to make with just 6 ingredients, and they can technically be eaten raw since there's no egg or flour, although I prefer them baked.
Ingredients:
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter stirred
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 pinch sea salt
1/3 cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
Drain the chickpeas and rinse them under cold water.
Add the chickpeas, peanut butter, coconut sugar, vanilla, baking powder, and sea salt to a food processor fitted with the S blade.
Process until all of the ingredients combine to form the dough.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Shape the dough into cookies by rolling a 1-inch ball with you hands and then pressing it flat (the cookies won't spread on their own in the oven, you need to shape them.)
Place them on a lined baking tray and bake for about 12-14 minutes.
