Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients:

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter if you’re feeling fancy)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Optional Add-ins:

  • Chopped nuts for crunch
  • Shredded coconut for tropical vibes
  • Dash of cinnamon for warmth
  • Espresso powder if you’re a coffee fiend like me

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat That Oven – Set it to 350°F (or 175°C if you’re metric-minded).

    2. Trust me, you’ll want it ready once the dough’s done.

  2. Step 2: Blitz the Chickpeas – Toss your chickpeas, nut butter, sweetener, vanilla, baking powder/soda, and salt into a food processor. Blend it till it’s super smooth.

    3. Like, hummus-level smooth. If you can still spot chunks of chickpea, keep going.

  3. Step 3: Stir in the Chocolate – Remove the blade and gently fold in the chocolate chips.

    4. This is the part where your kitchen starts smelling like victory.

  4. Step 4: Scoop & Drop – Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dollops of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten them slightly.

    5. They won’t spread much.

  5. Step 5: Bake – Pop them in the oven for about 10–12 minutes, or until the edges look lightly golden.

    6. The centers will still be soft (that’s the goal).

  6. Step 6: Cool… and Try Not to Eat All of Them – Let them cool for at least 10 minutes before diving in.

    7. This is the hardest step. I believe in you.
