Ingredients
Serving(s)
Step 1
- 15.5 oz can Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 1/4 cup Raisins
- 1/2 cup Almond butter
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Step 2
- 3/4 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
Step 3
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Raisins
Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat your oven to 350F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, blend together chickpeas, raisins, nut butter, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth, and no chunks of beans or raisins remain
- When fully combined, blend in milk, baking soda, and baking powder briefly to combine. Transfer to a large bowl
- Fold in the rolled oats and raisins with a silicone spatula. The cookie dough should be very loose, almost more like the consistency of a brownie batter
- Using spoon, scoop the cookie dough onto to the pan, about 23 g each. These cookies won't flatten or spread as they bake, and will only puff up slightly
- Bake for about 15 minutes at 350F, or until the tops and edges are lightly golden brown and the cookies are set to the touch. Let them cool totally on a pan before removing to an airtight container. Store in the fridge
Notes
- I've used almond butter here, but any nut butter will work, like peanut or cashew butter. For a nut free option, use tahini or pumpkin seed butter
- For the beans, I've gone with chickpeas for their neutral flavor and color, but any other light colored bean will work, like navy, pinto, or cannellini beans. I wouldn't recommend black or kidney beans, as the color will change
- I'm using blended raisins here as my sweetener, but any unsweetened dried fruit will work, like dates, dried figs, or prunes
- I've used almond milk here to make it vegan, but either skim milk or water will work here.
