These cookies are super peanut-y and have a soft texture. You will be surprised to see that I didn’t use flour or eggs. These cookies are gluten and egg free and can be vegan if you swap out the honey with maple syrup.
The main ingredient is chickpeas, but you don’t really taste them. Chickpeas are really bland in flavor and so the peanut and honey overpower it in the cookie. What’s great about the using chickpeas besides the health benefits, but it actually keeps the cookie moist yet firm. The little bit of oats I add is to mainly absorb some liquid since all the other three ingredients are wet.
If you love peanut butter my chickpea peanut butter cookies will hit the spot for you!
Enjoy !

Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas, drained well, rinsed
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup oats
- Chocolate Chips (optional)
Instructions

- Blend the chickpeas in a food processor until smooth. Add peanut butter, honey, vanilla to form a smooth paste.
- Transfer to a bowl, stir in the salt, oats and chocolate chips (optional). Mix until well combined.
- If the mixture seems extremely wet, you can add a little more oats or wait a few minutes to allow the oats to absorb some liquid.
- Roll the cookie dough mixture up into small balls, spread out evenly on the baking tray and press cookies down with a fork to flatten.
