Chickpea Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe by Gigi Grassia on InstagramAdded 12 November 2026.

15 minutes to prep, 12 to cook. These soft, protein‑packed cookies blend creamy chickpeas and peanut butter with sweet maple syrup and dark chocolate chips. The addition of oats and ground almonds gives them a satisfying texture while keeping them completely plant‑based. Perfect for a quick snack or a post‑workout treat.

Free. No account needed.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, smooth peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, and a pinch of salt; blend until the mixture is smooth.

  3. Add the quick oats, ground almonds, and the ripe banana to the processor; pulse briefly until just incorporated.

  4. Stir in the dairy‑free dark chocolate chips by hand.

  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden.

  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
