Cookies made with cooked chickpeas? If 20 years ago when I started making cookies at home they had told me that I would end up eating chickpea cookies I wouldn't have believed it. Now I not only eat them, but I enjoy them and they have become a regular snack in my breakfasts and snacks.
Making cookies at home is easy; reproduce the classics butter cookies or american cookies. However, I was not aware of the amount of sugar I was consuming through these. Now I am and that is why I try to avoid them and bet on healthier options how are you in my day to day
I'm not going to lie to you, the first time I tried them it was very strange because neither the texture nor the taste were those of a classic cookie. But it's a matter of getting used to or re-educate the palate. And with these cookies you have the opportunity to do it often. What do you cook chickpeas and have leftovers? Take my advice and use them to make a small batch of these cookies.
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas
- ⅓ cup of peanut butter
- 2-3 teaspoons of panela
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- We beat in a bowl the cooked chickpeas, the peanut butter and the panela until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
- Now, we incorporate the rest of the ingredients: baking soda, vanilla extract and chocolate chips; and mix with a spatula until integrated.
- Using a couple of teaspoons, we form balls of the same size that we are depositing on the baking tray, leaving a few centimeters between one and the other.
- Then we flatten them slightly and we take them to the oven.
- Bake 12 minutes or until lightly browned and cracked on the surface.
- Once done, we take out the chickpea cookies out of the oven and place them on a rack to cool completely before eating.
I will try them interesting and what is panela?
