Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup creamy almond butter
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Blend the chickpeas, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla in a food processor until completely smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping sides once.
  2. Scrape the batter into a bowl. Stir in the baking powder and salt, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Drop 1½-tablespoon scoops of dough onto the sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until edges are set and golden.
  4. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool further. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

If your almond butter is unsalted, bump the salt up to a generous ¼ tsp. The dough will be sticky, so using a cookie scoop makes portioning much easier.
