Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cup chickpeas *see notes is using canned chickpeas
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp oat flour
  • 2-3 tbsp maple syrup or to taste
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt *see notes if using canned chickpeas
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips

Equipment

  • food processor

Method
 

  1. Add all ingredients except for the dark chocolate chips to a food processor. Blend until a thick dough is formed. You'll need to pause and scrape the dough from the sides of your food processor a few times during the process until all ingredients are mixed together and a smooth dough is formed. Taste and adjust sweetener if needed.
  2. Remove the dough from food processor to a bowl. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

*If you're using canned chickpeas (instead of chickpeas prepared from dried beans), use one 15-oz can of chickpeas. Drain and rinse them very well. If the chickpeas had added salt, I'd recommend starting with just 1/8 tsp salt in the recipe. Add up to 1/8 tsp salt more after blending and taste-testing. 
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
