Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Hi All,

    First time leaving a recipe here, but I've enjoyed many of yours before!

    I tried this recipe for gluten-reduced chocolate chip cookies at the weekend, and I have to pass it on- they were amazing :)

    Be warned though, you do get a little tricked into thinking the flourless/butterless aspect makes them healthy so you can eat as many as you like! I can't include a picture because they were gone too quickly!

    Ingredients
    • 1 1⁄4 cups canned chickpeas, well-rinsed and patted dry with a paper towel
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1⁄2 cup + 2 tablespoons nut butter (I highly recommend using peanut)
    • 1⁄4 cup honey
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • Pinch of salt (unless your nut butter is already salted)
    • 1⁄2 cup chocolate chips (I used a crumbled bar of 85% chocolate)
    Makes about 14 cookies

    Method
    • Preheat your oven to 175°C
    • Place all of the ingredients, excluding the chocolate chips, into a food processor and pulse until smooth (note: if you don’t have a food processor or mini chopper you could get by using an electric whisk).
    • Using a spoon, stir in the chocolate chips.
    • Using wet hands, roll the dough into small teaspoon sized balls and place on a greased baking tray.
    • Pat the cookies down flat slightly.
    • Bake for 10 minutes.
    • Enjoy!

    They sound really good.

    I've moved this into Cakes & Bakes because it's better suited, and we often get questions about gluten free baking in here :)

    You can get big tins of chickpeas in many asian supermarkets, often for a fraction of the price per kilo as supermarkets.

    Also you could possibly use gram flour with some added water, which would save having to mash them up, and gram flour is often cheaper too. Not all gram flour is made from chickpeas, I have some made from some other grain/pulse which is meant to be very similar. Tinned chickpeas would be cooked and so would contain more water than flour so this would have to be figured out.

    Also some gram flours are much higher in protein than others. I had one about 24% protein, more than chicken.

    The high protein should make them more satisfying so you might eat less.

    For the nut butter part you say... 1⁄2 cup + 2 tablespoons nut butter
    Is that half a cup in addition to 2 tablespoons?

    Hi Rockiemalt,

    That's correct. It's quite a lot of peanut butter, but it adds to the texture of the cookies :)
