Description
Here is a giant chocolate chip cookie. Because that's what cookie cake is. I've made it added sugar free and gluten free, utilizing dates, chickpeas, bananas, peanut butter, and oats. This dessert is like eating a large chocolate chip cookie with a fork, and goes great with a scoop of Neopolitan Banana Ice Cream right on top of it

- 3 small or 2 large Banana, overripe
- 1/4 cup Natural peanut butter

Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat the oven to 350F, and lightly grease a 10" cast iron pan with oil
- In a small bowl, cover your dates with hot water, and let soak for 10 minutes to soften. Drain the soaking liquid, and transfer to a food processor
- To the food processor with the dates, add an entire can of chickpeas (NOT drained or rinsed), bananas, and peanut butter (or any other nut/seed butter). Blend until smooth, and no chunks remain. Transfer to a large bowl
- With a silicone spatula, mix in almond (or vanilla) extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix in the oat flour until fully combined. Fold in half the chocolate chips, reserving the rest for the top
- Transfer your batter to the pan, and spread to an even thickness. Top with your remaining chocolate chips
- Bake in a 350F oven for about 30 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and it registers an internal temperature of 195F
- Let cool totally in the pan before slicing and serving. Serve warm or cold
Notes
- You can replace half of the oat flour with cocoa powder to turn this into a double chocolate cookie cake, or check out any of my other brownie recipes!
