Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can chickpeas 15 oz, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4–1/2 cup nut or seed butter almond or sunflower
  • 2–3 Tbsp maple syrup or to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • sea salt pinch
  • 1/4–1/2 cup almond or oat flour to thicken
  • dairy-free chocolate chips optional

Instructions
 

  • Pat chickpeas dry after rinsing. Add to a food processor with nut or seed butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  • Transfer to a bowl and stir in flour until it reaches cookie dough texture. Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
  • Scoop into bite-sized balls and chill for 20–30 minutes until firm.

Notes

Nut-free? Use sunflower seed butter. Grind gluten-free oats for a budget-friendly flour. If the dough is too wet, add more flour; if too dry, add a splash of plant milk.
