Ingredients
  

  • 1 can reduced-sodium chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter (no-stir variety)
  • ½ cup coconut sugar (firmly packed)
  • ½ cup agave nectar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons coconut flour (firmly packed)
  • 1 cup dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spoon or Cookie Scoop

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly chewy.
  2. Step 2: Blend the Chickpeas - In your food processor, add the drained and rinsed chickpeas. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
  3. Step 3: Add in the Wet Ingredients - To the blended chickpeas, add the peanut butter, coconut sugar, agave nectar, and vanilla extract. Pulse until everything is well combined.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate Dry Ingredients - Next, add the baking powder, sea salt, and coconut flour to the mixture. Blend again until just combined.
  5. Step 5: Stir in the Chocolate Chips - Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips using a spatula.
  6. Step 6: Scoop and Bake - Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  7. Step 7: Cool and Enjoy - Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a nut-free option, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • Freeze cookies in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
