Chocolate Pecan Chickpea Cookies
Gluten-free, high protein, vegan, dairy-free, high fiber These cookies are my easiest drop cookies, made in a blender and one bowl using simple pantry ingredients. You would never guess these pecan chocolate chip cookies are made with CHICKPEAS in place of flour. With beans as the main ingredient, you get a high-protein, high-fiber cookie that is chockful of plant nutrition. Don’t be shy when adding salt on top; it brings out the nutty flavor of the pecans and plays nicely with the chocolate. This is a truly guilt-free treat for all those who like to disguise healthy ingredients as yummy, sweet treats. Your family and friends will never know…
