PIN Peanut Butter Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies
A CHICKPEA chocolate chip COOKIE recipe.
Just when you think you’ve seen every VARIATION of easy healthy gluten free chocolate chip cookies under the sun, I bring you T-H-I-S.
It sounds weird. You’re not sure about it. You think that chickpeas should be reserved to making “normal” things like homemade hummus or creamy chickpea curry. You wonder if I have lost my marbles.
I mean, I am the maker of green cashew curry chicken bowls with watermelon, so it IS possible that aforementioned marbles have been LOST. But…you should know this by now.
For realsies though my internet friends. I would never make a promise of gluten free chocolate chip cookies that would not TICKLE your taste buds and fill your cookie-monster-inner-soul with happiness, feel-good-vibes and just general ALL AROUND GOOD THINGS.
These peanut butter chickpea chocolate chip cookies have ALL OF THAT. Plus, they marry peanut butter and chocolate, which is the most delicious combination of foods on planet earth EVER, and will NEVER EVER let you down.

You should have seen this chickpea chocolate chip cookie recipe coming. It was only a matter of time before the “cookie dough” component of cookie dough banana ice cream and vegan cookie dough stuffed peanut butter bites got a little UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL with a hot-hot-hot oven for some ACTUALLY-BAKED-NO-LONGER-DOUGH shenanigans.
Blending up ACTUAL chickpeas, instead of making this a chickpea flour cookies recipe (which is actually a real-but-hard-find-thing), get rid of their sometimes-grainy-qualities and turns them into this SOFT and smooth ingredient that BINDS these cookies with swirls of nutty, rich and CREAMY peanut butter, perfect coconut sugar sweetness and BURSTS of OOEY-GOOEY melty chocolate chips in every MOUTHFUL.
Your cookie-munching mouth? Gonna LOVE IT.
Straight up. I CAN’T EVER with HOW SOFT and CHEWAYYY these little chickpea gems are. There’s a little crispy-cookie action on the outside with a cookie-dough-LIKE (but still, you know, BAKED) surprise center that just GETS ME like WHOA.
SRSLY. People are gonna eat these and be like “HOLD UP. Chickpeas are in this? Like actual chickpeas? The ones you make HUMMUS WITH?”
Don’t you love blowing people’s MINDS with health and wellness and real-food-good-for-you INGREDIENTS?
On the topic of the ingredients in these peanut butter chickpea chocolate chip cookies, I got mine from Xoby Organics!

You know those times when you have to run around to ELEVENTY billion stores to find all your ingredients, which ends in annoyed-you because, liiike, WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT?
Xoby Organics is making that situation a never-real-thing-in-your-real-person-life and I truly <3 <3 <3 them for it.
Considering we have the same thoughts about finding-things-in-life-that-are-easy-because-so-many-things-required-to- “adult”-are-just-wayyyy-too-hard, I KNOW that you’re gonna L-O-V-E them juuuuust as much as I do.
I’ll dip my ultra-chewy-and-basically-perfect peanut buttery-chocolatey cookie in some ALMOND MILK to that.
Peanut Butter Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 Can Reduced-sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed (15 oz)
- 3/4 Cup + 2 Tbsp Natural creamy peanut butter (the no-stir kind)
- 1/2 Cup Coconut sugar, firmly packed
- 1/3 Cup Agave
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp Baking powder
- Pinch of sea salt
- 3 Tbsp Coconut flour, firmly packed
- 1/3 Cup Dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the drained and rinsed chickpeas on a paper towel. Using another paper, gently pat them dry. Remove any of the chickpea skins that have come loose (you don't need to remove any of the ones that are still stuck to the chickpeas) and place the chickpeas into a large food processor.
- Add all the ingredients, except the coconut flour and chocolate chips. Blend, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until smooth and creamy. Make sure you scrape under the blade as I found a lot of my agave pooled under it.
- Add the coconut flour into the food processor and blend until well combined. Again, check under the blade. The dough should begin to pull away from the blade.
- Pour into a large bowl and refrigerate for 5 minutes to cool down the dough. Then, stir in the chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop by lightly heaping 1 Tbsp balls onto the prepared pan, pressing out each cookie about 1/2 inch thick. These cookies don't spread, so you should be able to get them all on one pan.
- Bake until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are lightly puffed up, about 25-30* minutes. Let cool COMPLETELY on the pan.
- DEVOUR!

Such a great use for chickpeas which I have a lot of right now! I have many Thanksgiving recipes and other recipes using the liquid from chickpeas and one can only eat so much hummus, plus there are the non hummus lovers so I had a whole list of things to make with the chickpeas, need to add cookies to the list!
Taylor Kiser says
Haha yes to hummus! I love it but not ALL THE TIME!! I hope you love these if you try!

Judy Foley says
I just made these and they were delicious. However, I only baked them for 20 minutes and they burned on the bottom. I would decrease the cooking time to 12-15 minutes and then check.
Taylor Kiser says
Weird! all oven temps do run totally different so I think that’s the case. BUT glad you liked them!
Jill Roberts @ WellnessGeeky says
