Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies [Gluten Free + Vegan]
These cookies...... are insane, in the best way possible. So moist, so peanut buttery, and those CHOCOLATE CHUNKS?!?! Heaven!! There's only a handful of simple ingredients, so these cookies aren't filled with refined sugars, but instead have lots of healthy fats, carbs and even protein!! They are flourless, gluten free, and vegan! I think a lot of you will be surprised by the base ingredient of these... read on to find out!
Makes about 12-14 cookies
You will need:
- 15 oz (1 can) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 6 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup non-dairy milk of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar (or granulated sweetener of choice)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- raw dark chocolate (however much you want!!!)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Drain and rinse your chickpeas, then dry them between two paper towels.
- Place all ingredients (besides the chocolate) in your food processor, and blend until smooth.
- Transfer to a large bowl and fold in the chocolate chips.
- For each cookie, use a heaping 1 tbsp of the batter.
- Bake for about 20-22 minutes until the tops are browned and hardened.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Try not to eat them all at once :)
Enjoy! :)

ReplyDeleteHope you like them Bernie!! :)
DeleteCould I use white beans??
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried these cookies with white beans, but I don't see why they wouldn't work! The only thing that might make a difference is the lower fat content in white beans compared to chickpeas, but the difference is very small so I don't think you'll have any issues. Just make sure you pat them dry really well :)

Deletehow many cookies makes this recipe?
ReplyDeletei got about 12-14 cookies out of this! :)
DeleteOk Casey, I'd like to try these but please tell me you can't taste the chickpeas! I LOVE them but not in my cookies. Also would almond butter work instead of peanut butter!
ReplyDeleteHi Aunt Jacki! You really can't taste the chick peas, the nut butter and sweeteners definitely mask it! And yes you could definitely use almond butter instead :)
DeleteThese are in the oven right now -- they smell AMAZING!
