Ingredients
- 15 ounce can garbanzo beans/chickpeas
- 1/2 cup smooth natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup pure natural maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Preparation
- Rinse and drain the garbanzo beans. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to reduce sticking.
- Put all ingredients, except the chocolate chips, into a food processor and blend until smooth. Use a blender if you do not have a food processor.
- Mix chocolate chips into the dough by hand.
- Spoon out about a tablespoon of dough for each cookie onto the cookie sheet.
- Bake for about 12 minutes or until cookies get a little brown on the edges.
Helpful hints
- These cookies do not spread out much while baking and the dough is a little sticky. If you want a smoother, rounder cookie, try freezing the batter for about an hour so you can shape them into discs before placing them on the cookie sheet.
- Natural, pure maple syrup should not contain phosphorus additives. Some more processed varieties do, be sure to look for pure maple syrup and read the ingredient list for phosphates.
- Our bodies do not absorb all of the potassium and phosphorus in plant-based foods, such as the garbanzo beans in this recipe, which also gives you a bit more protein than a regular cookie.
- Peanut butter can be enjoyed in small amounts in a kidney friendly diet. You may also substitute any other natural nut butter.
- Semisweet chocolate chips can be substituted for the dark chocolate chips.
