Who knew a can of chickpeas can make the best batch of vegan choc chip cookies you’ll ever have! Yup. And the recipe is right here. With just 4 other ingredients. You’re in for an absolute treat with these! They’re squishy, loaded with protein and a pure delight to eat.
Ingredients:
1 can chickpeas
120g peanut butter (1/2 cup)
60g maple syrup (1/4 cup)
Splash of vanilla extract
60g dark chocolate chips (1/3 cup)
Flaky sea salt to top (optional)
Recipe:
Blend the chickpeas, maple syrup and vanilla extract. You’ll get a super sweet smelling hummus looking paste thing. It’s delicious.
Blend in the peanut butter until a smooth batter forms.
Add the chocolate chips and mix everything well.
Roll out into cookies, place on a baking tray, sprinkle salt here if you’re using it, and bake at 20 minutes at 200. The very edges should be a dark golden brown when they’re done! They’ll be really soft in the centre - let them cool and they’ll harden slightly.
Enjoy dunked in milk!
A Bite Out of Life
I’ve mentioned in a few previous A Bite Out of Life sections that during covid I moved out to live with my grandparents and I spent more time there than expected. That blessing in disguise saw me be able to spend a lot of time with them that I never had before - here are some pics from our Easter! I put on an afternoon tea spread complete with fresh lemonade, lemons picked that morning from the garden, and to keep it extra lemony I kept the peels from when I made the drink and chopped them up into squares then threaded them onto a skewer. Extra lemony lemonade! The picture on the right shows some plant pots I found around the house that I threaded some string around and turned into a little Easter Egg Hunt basket. I hit loads of chocolates around the first floor of my grandparents’ house and they collected them all into the basket! Memories to cherish forever.
