Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup O Organics® crunchy peanut butter
- 1 cup chickpeas (drained, rinsed and dried with a paper towel)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup raw or organic honey
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375º. In a food processor, add peanut butter, chickpeas, cocoa powder, honey, and baking powder. Process until smooth. Scrape down the sides with a spatula and process again until a thick dough-like consistency forms.
Step 2
Stir in dark chocolate chips. Scoop out into tablespoon-sized dough balls onto a baking sheet covered in parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Press each down a little in the center to form a small cookie-shape (but chocolate drop should still be puffy, not flat).
Step 3
Bake for 10 minutes. Chocolate drops will have a "crackled" appearance on top but will still be gooey in the middle. Don't overtake them! Remove and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
