Chocolate Chip (Chickpea) Cookies (Edit recipe)

There is a can of chickpeas in these chocolate chip cookies and you would never guess it. No flour either — just oats, chickpeas, peanut butter and maple syrup blended into a thick batter. One tip from making these with the kids: we mix everything in a bowl first and only transfer it to the food processor at the end, so no one’s hands are near the blade. Swap the chocolate chips for raisins and you have oatmeal raisin.

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 350F and grease a baking sheet with avocado oil.
In a food processor, combine oats, chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, flax seed, hemp hearts, salt, and baking powder. Blend for a minute or so, until a thick batter is formed. (When baking with kids, we combine all ingredients into a large bowl first, and then add in the chickpeas. We then transfer the entire contents of the bowl to the food processor afterwards so the kids don't go near the blade.)
Transfer batter to a bowl and add in chocolate chips/raisins and mix until evenly distributed.
Form little balls with the batter and place on the baking sheet. With a fork, press down slightly to flatten out a bit. (We also add extra chocolate chips to the tops of the cookies where the indent with the fork was made, but totally optional.)
Bake for 25 minutes or until the cookies are baked through.
