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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sprinkle on the crushed walnuts or freeze-dried cherries.
- Bake the bookies for 18-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on the bottom and firm to the touch. Enjoy after cooling.
- Store the leftover cookies in the refrigerator for up to one week and freeze for long term storage.
