• Guilt-free Flour-less Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

  Here is a great recipe that is healthy and does not require a billion ingredients (always a big deterrent for me) This recipe is pretty much all over Google and Facebook for that matter so I thought I would give it a try.  Turned out great. Healthy and most people have these ingredients right there in the pantry. Assuming you have…

  Garbanzo beans. Or Chick peas. Why are there two names? Always wondered that. Anyhow garbanzo beans…Doesn’t everyone have these?

  Back to the cookies…

  Garbanzo beans and peanut butter? Protein packed. The only mistake I made in this recipe was to not double it. 😦

  

  Eat me.

  You have this in your pantry, right?

  1 1/4 Cup Canned Chickpeas, rinsed and patted dry
  2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  1/2 Cup + 2 Tbs Natural Peanut Butter
  1/4 Cup Honey
  1 tsp. Baking Powder
  1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips (I used 60% Ghiradellhi chips. Why? The best. Promise.)

  What to do:

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

  

  Non-stick spray. Bleck. Parchment. Even cooking, easy clean up.

  Rinse and towel blot garbanzo beans so that most moisture is gone.

  

  See how wet the paper towel is underneath? Blot it even more!

   

  Combine all ingredients in a food processor (except the chocolate chips) Process until smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
  
  
  

  Add your chips and pulse a few more times.

  

  

  
  

  Now we are in business.

  With wet hands (because it is DANG sticky) form into 1-2 inch balls (depending on how big you want them) and place on parchment paper.
  
  
  

  1. Bake for 10 minutes.
  2. Press down slightly with a fork.
  3. Bake for another 3-5 minutes or until solid

  

  Again. Should have doubled. Hate to ration cookies.

  2 cups quick-cooking oats

  1/3 cup gogi berries (or more raisins)

  1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

  1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

  1/2 cup honey

  1/4 cup brown sugar

  1/2 cup peanut butter (or any other nut butter)
