Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 cup vegan vanilla protein powder (I used Vegan Brand – pea protein)
- 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips or cocoa nibs
Instructions
- Drain and rinse chickpeas. Place in a paper towel, dry off. If some of the skins start to come off peel them off and discard. (this will help the cookie dough not be as gritty)
- Add chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, protein powder and cinnamon to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add chickpea cookie dough mixture to a small bowl. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Roll into 1″ balls. Serve immediately.
