Are you a city-dweller?

I just got back from New York after a weekend of exploring NYC with my sister.

It was her first visit to the city that never sleeps, and I loved seeing the best of city life through her fresh eyes: endless possibilities, unapologetic creativity, and diversity of life.

We walked, talked, ate, and then ate some more. (Walking everywhere really works up an appetite, ya know?)

It’s true, I’m more at home at a vineyard in the middle of nowhere than in the middle of Times Square, but I love the gentle perspective shift I always have after traveling.

My beloved little kitchen is just a small-ish slice of a much bigger menu!

“Oh, wait, you mean…not everyone eats chickpea cookies?!”

These Chocolate Cherry Chickpea Chewies require only a handful of ingredients for a protein-packed and antioxidant-rich treat that’s perfect for snacking.

How to Make Chocolate Cherry Chickpea Cookies

These Chocolate Cherry Chickpea Chewies were inspired by my original Cashew Chickpea Snack Cookies (Snookies!) with a chocolate cherry twist.

Who else loves the combination of tart cherry and sweet cacao?

These chewies are slightly tart, perfectly sweetened, chocolate-y, and, you guessed it, chewy.

They’re made with a nut butter and chickpea base that is naturally gluten free and packed with protein!

The cookies are firm on the outside and soft and pliable on the inside with a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate covered cherry vibe.

Swoon.

Organic Tart Cherry Butter

Organic Tart Cherry Butter

The intense cherry flavor comes from mixing in  Organic Tart Cherry Butter by Eden Foods.

I have a sweet spot for this cherry butter because it tastes incredible with only one ingredient.

If you flip over the jar, you’ll see only one ingredient listed…Organic Tart Cherries!

Each jar contains four pounds of delicious cherries cooked down to tart perfection without any water, sugar, or additives.

The mix of cherry butter and raw cacao powder makes for an antioxidant rich treat.

How to Serve Chocolate Cherry Chickpea Chewies

You’re going to love blending up a batch of these Chocolate Cherry Chickpea Chewies as a fun snack for the week!

They’re perfect to grab for a mid-morning or afternoon snack with a glass of almond milk.

I used walnut butter in the batter because I love the combination of walnut and cherry, but if you can’t find walnut butter any nut or seed butter will work in its place!

Enjoy the chewies as is (delish) or garnish with crushed walnuts, dark chocolate chunks, nd/or freeze-dried crushed cherries for some fun texture.

Enjoy!

Description

Chocolate Cherry Chickpea Chewies made with chickpeas, cacao powder, and nut butter, lightly sweetened with maple syrup and cherry butter.


Ingredients

  • 1 15-oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup neutral nut or seed butter (almond, cashew, sunflower seed)
  • 2 TBSP raw cacao powder
  • 3–4 TBSP pure maple syrup
  • 2–3 TBSP Eden Foods Organic Tart Cherry Butter

Toppings

  • Crushed walnuts
  • freeze-dried cherries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add all of the ingredients (chickpeas – cherry butter) to a blender and pulse everything until it’s well combined, pausing and scraping down the excess on the sides with a rubber spatula to ensure an even consistency. It should resemble a sticky dough.
  3. With a cookie scoop, scoop the dough into ~1.5 TBSP balls and place it on parchment lined baking sheet. The batter should make about 18 cookies.
  4. Sprinkle on the crushed walnuts or freeze-dried cherries.
  5. Bake the bookies for 18-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on the bottom and firm to the touch. Enjoy after cooling.
  6. Store the leftover cookies in the refrigerator for up to one week and freeze for long term storage.

#ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this #ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup feels easy. 🥕🍠🥣 It also tastes amazing and every warm spoonful is like a comforting embrace. This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter. I used a standing blender but you can also use an immersion blender to achieve the creamiest consistency.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
