Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
- 1 15 ounce canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed thoroughly, patted dry)
- ½ cup blanched almond flour
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (optional)
- 2-3 tablespoons real maple syrup (adjust to preferred sweetness)
- ¼ cup unsweetened natural nut butter (I prefer peanut butter or almond butter. Tahini also works. Keep in mind the type of nut butter you use will change the flavor of the final dough.)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground Ceylon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or kosher sea salt
- 1-3 tablespoons non dairy milk (almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, etc.,) (if needed to get desired smooth consistency)
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips (choose refined sugar free chocolate chips to remain refined sugar free; choose vegan chocolate chips to remain vegan; or choose whichever chocolate chips you'd like if you don't have dietary restrictions or preferences)
Instructions
- Drain and rinse chickpeas thoroughly. Pat dry.
- Place chickpeas, almond flour, nut butter, ground cinnamon, salt, protein powder, and real maple syrup in a food processor. Blend on low to medium speed for around 2 minutes until dough is smooth. If the dough needs to be thinned out, add in 1 tablespoon of nut milk at a time until desired smooth consistency is reached.
- Add in desired chocolate chips and pulse a few times to get them mixed in.
- Enjoy!
