I think they are my ultimate comfort food and dessert of choice. As I continue my search for modified healthy treats, these take the cake by far as best substitute. The secret ingredient in these are chickpeas. They are chock full of protein between the peanut butter and main base. They also do not have a ton of sugar on simple carbohydrates. Prepare to be amazed.
Recipe:
1 can chickpeas
1/2 heaping cup natural creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse and drain chickpeas. Puree in food processor until very smooth. Add all additional ingredients and puree for 30 seconds, or until mixed. The dough will be very thick. Move to large bowl and add in chocolate chips. Place cookies on greased baking sheet. press down slightly, as cookies will hold their shape throughout the cooking process. Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool and place in freezer for 30 minutes to allow cookies to harden. Store in airtight container and enjoy within 3-5 days.
