Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 1/2 egg
  • 1/2 egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cups ChiChi banana bread chickpea oatmeal, blended to a flour consistency
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Handful of chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter, melted
  • Flakey salt for topping

Instructions:

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by heating the coconut oil in the microwave until melted. Let it cool completely before using it in the recipe to ensure the right consistency.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted and cooled coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the egg and egg yolk, mixing until smooth.

  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Slowly incorporate the ChiChi flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture. Stir until a thick dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  4. Bake the Cookie Bites: Spoon small amounts of the dough into a greased cupcake baking dish. Bake at 250°F for 30 minutes. Keep the temperature low to avoid burning and ensure the cookies bake evenly.

  5. Add the Peanut Butter: Once the cookie bites are baked, let them cool for a few minutes. Then, pour the melted peanut butter over each cookie bite. Place them in the fridge for 20 minutes to set.

  6. Finish with Chocolate and Sea Salt: Drizzle the cooled cookie bites with melted chocolate and sprinkle with flakey sea salt for the perfect finishing touch.

  7. Enjoy! These Chocolate Chip Banana Cookie Bites are best enjoyed chilled from the fridge, but they’re delicious at any temperature. Perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself!

Why chickpeas?

Using banana bread chickpea oatmeal in place of flour not only makes these cookies grain-free and higher in protein, but it also adds a unique and delightful flavor that you won't get from traditional flour. Plus, you're sneaking in extra nutrients without sacrificing taste.
