Healthy Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies

May 15, 2018 By My Nguyen Leave a Comment

My Healthy Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies are a great healthy alternative to for those looking for a treat, but not the guilt. My secret to keeping it moist and chewy without eggs is using the canned liquid from chickpeas. It is also called aquafaba and it is becoming a trend in vegan bake goods because it is a egg replacement. I used honey in this recipe as a sweetener, but you can add maple syrup or agave if you want keep this recipe completely vegan. This recipe hits all the check marks. It gluten free, vegan, low sugar and flourless. Yet, it’s still moist and is an amazing chocolate chip cookie. I’ve also seen other healthy chickpea chocolate chip cookies recipes that use chickpea flour. But chickpea flour hasn’t gained enough popularity yet to be easy to find in stores. I used canned chickpeas and it worked just fine.

The reason why I like using chickpeas instead of flour in my cookie recipe is because it is a great source of protein and fiber. Since I’ve been trying to eat more plant-based, I’m also hoping my family will too. By this simple swap of canned chickpea liquid instead of eggs I made something that everyone could enjoy. The kids loved helping too. Honestly, if you want something to taste good to them just add some chocolate. In my case I added dark chocolate and the kids gobbled it up. We even made doggie cookies for our dog Charlie using the same batter, minus the chocolate chips. I just had to cook it a higher temperature at 375˚F degrees and a few 5 minutes longer to achieve the more crispy biscuit texture doggies love. So there you have it kid and doggie approved. So simple and easy to make too!
