Ingredients:

1 (15 oz) can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 + ¼ cup pitted dates

½ cup warm water

3 tbsp almond butter

2 tbsp gluten free rolled oats

1 tbsp + 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

¾ tsp baking powder

⅛ tsp baking soda

⅓ cup chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Combine the chickpeas, dates, water, almond butter, oats, vanilla, baking powder, and baking soda in a food processor, excluding the chocolate chips. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed.

3. Remove dough from the food processor and gently mix in the chocolate chips.

4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Form the dough into cookies and place on the cookie sheet. They won't change shape.

6. Bake for 18-22 minutes until cookies are firm in the center. Remove from oven and let cool.

Bon Appetit!
