Full of plant-based protein and fibre, these gluten-free and nut-free chickpea choc chip cookies make a nourishing sweet lunch box addition.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups chickpea (garbanzo bean/besan) flour
- 1 tbsp arrowroot
- 125ml coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 organic or free-range egg
- 3/4 cup dark choc chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 yolk of organic or free-range egg
Method
-
1
Preheat oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
-
2
In a large bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil – make sure it’s not hot, it should be melted but closer to room temperature – coconut sugar, egg, egg yolk and vanilla until smooth and creamy like a caramel sauce (approx. 1-2 minutes)
-
3
In another bowl, mix together chickpea flour, arrowroot, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
-
4
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined.
-
5
Fold through chocolate chips.
-
6
Use a tablespoon to scoop out dough and then roll mixture in to a ball. Place on baking paper and very gently use the underside of two fingers to press down and flatten slightly. (They will spread only a small amount, so allow room between each cookie.)
-
7
Place in the oven and cook for 10 minutes or until the edges start to brown slightly.
-
8
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before using a spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
