Chocolate Chip Cookies Made with Chickpeas

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas ½ cup butter ½ cup packed brown sugar ¼ cup coconut oil 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract ½ cup peanut butter 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup all-purpose flour ½ cup oats 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon salt 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and either grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Next, blend the chickpeas until they’re smooth and creamy. In a big bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar, and coconut oil together until everything’s nicely combined. Then, stir in the eggs, vanilla extract, and peanut butter one at a time. Fold in the pureed chickpeas, followed by the flours, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Once the dough is mixed, toss in the chocolate chips. Scoop out spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until the edges are golden. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before digging in.

Cook's tip
