Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:
  • 1 15-oz can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 4 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cookie Scoop

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Chickpeas. Open the can of chickpeas and drain them well. Rinse under cold water to remove any excess sodium.
  3. Step 3: Blend the Base. In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract (if using). Blend until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Add the Dry Ingredients. To the chickpea mixture, add the cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Blend again until well combined.
  5. Step 5: Fold in the Chocolate Chips. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
  6. Step 6: Scoop and Shape. Using a cookie scoop, drop the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Step 7: Bake. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked.
  8. Step 8: Cool and Enjoy. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
