These chickpea chocolate chip cookies are so good. High in protein, no refined sugars, gluten free and plant-based. They also don't require a blender because you use chickpea flour not chickpeas! Easy to make, quick to bake, healthy enough to eat for breakfast.

Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
In a small steel bowl sift dry ingredients together and whisk to combine, set aside
In a small microwave safe bowl add coconut oil and microwave for 30 seconds or until just melted, set aside to cool slightly, 5 minutes
Add flax eggs and tofu to a small blender and blend until tofu is creamed **if not using tofu you can skip this part and just make your flax eggs
In a large mixing bowl add sugars and melted oil and whisk well, add in flax/tofu mixture and whisk until completely combined
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined
Fold in chocolate chips and any other add-ins you like
Put the batter into the fridge for half and hour
Pull out batter and roll into small balls, press down just slightly. Batter will be thick, don't worry they will bake up realllll nice and chewy.
Bake at 350 for 8 minutes
Allow to cool for 10 minutes before enjoying with a glass of plant milk :)
