My altered favourites: Chickpea peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!

Chickpea peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!

I made a double batch because these cookies freeze well raw and we can enjoy them freshly baked:)
Ingredients
  • 1¼ cups canned chickpeas, well-rinsed and patted dry with a paper towel
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup agave (any liquid sweetener could work)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup crispy puffed rice
Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. 
  2. Combine the chickpeas, chocolate chips, vanilla, agave (or other sweetener), and baking powder in a blender.  Process until almost smooth (some whole chocolate chips are fine).  The mixture will be very thick and sticky.
  3. Mix with peanut butter in a separate bowl until a consistent dough.
  4. Stir in the rice puffs.
  5. With wet hands, form into 1½” balls. Place onto a Silpat or a piece of parchment paper. If you want them to look more like normal cookies, press down slightly on the balls. They don’t do much rising.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes. The dough balls will still be very soft when you take them out of the oven. They will not set like normal cookies.
  7. Keep on the counter for a few days and in the fridge after that, if they make it that far!
