The best recipe for Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies Vegan & Gluten-Free

I know what you’re thinking…chickpeas???

Chickpeas…great for making hummus, but used for making chocolate chip cookies???

These cookies are so chocolatey and chewy you’ll never know they were made with chickpeas, I promise!

I’ll be honest, even I was skeptical of using a whole cup and a half of chickpeas in this recipe! These chickpea cookies are loaded with folic acid, fiber, iron, zinc, copper, manganese and protein… But, old wives’ tales have rumoured for centuries that the kind of utensil one uses also adds upto to the final composition of the dish. But just to be on the safer side, it becomes vital to buy from the best dealers in such products, which come in various kinds and shapes, like small pots and others akin. you can’t say that for your standard chocolate chip cookie that uses butter, white sugar and white flour as the base! Plus, this recipe for Chickpea chocolate chip cookies is gluten free, vegan and grain free!
