Ingredients

  • 15 oz can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • cup almond flour
  • cup rice flour
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon chopped peanuts

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Drain and rinse chickpeas. Add all ingredients to a food processor. Process until chickpeas are completely combined with other ingredients and there are no chunks of chickpeas left. Dough will begin to form a large ball in the food processor.
  • Transfer dough to a bowl. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Place on baking sheet. Repeat until all dough has been used. You should have between 22-24 balls of dough.
  • Using your hand gently press to flatten the dough into rounds. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top, gently pressing them into the dough so that they stick.
  • Place cookies in preheated oven at 350 F on the middle rack. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store and Keep-Keep at room temperature in a covered container. Cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but they will keep for up to a week. They will become a bit dryer as the days pass, so enjoy them sooner rather than later.
Freeze-You can also freeze the dough and bake them later. After you make the dough, roll into a log, wrap in saran wrap and store in an air tight container. When ready to bake remove from the freezer and thaw dough in the refrigerator.
