These Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies are sweetened with maple syrup and made with peanut butter and hearty chickpeas for the batter. They are much healthier than the traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe and so good that you may make this your new go to recipe!
I Heart Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies
When it comes to dessert I have an ok time passing at cake and ice cream. No problemo. But offer me a piece of pie or a cookie and my willpower leaves every time! In the past, I would love making a warm batch of chocolate chip cookies and curling up on the couch with a tall glass of milk.
Now that I am plant based, I still can! These cookies are made with wholesome chickpeas and natural peanut butter and sweetened with maple syrup and vegan chocolate chips. I can curl up on my couch with a warm cookie and a nice glass of almond milk. Same feel, less calories. No animal product…just healthy. Can we say WIN?!
Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Oh and may I mention that this makes the absolute BEST egg free cookie dough?? Just make a batch and place in your refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill. So good!
You can also top a baked cookie with some vanilla “nice cream”, add another cookie on top and you have an awesome cookie sandwich.
Ok….so let’s make them!
